What is Lac du Bourget lakeside path

The chemin lacustre hands walkers an entire shore of the Lac du Bourget, at water level: 4 km, about 1h30, 6 m of elevation, rated 'niveau vert - facile' as a comfort walk. A shore 'formerly inaccessible', the official sources recall, returned to walkers by the shoreline development programme.

Three official starts: the Aix-les-Bains nautical base car park, the Lido beach car park at Tresserve, and the Les Mottets car park at Viviers-du-Lac. Green spaces and terraces line the route, touching the water.

The path is wheelchair accessible without assistance, per the Département's listing. On hours, a small divergence to flag: the tourist office publishes 'year-round, every day' with no times, Savoie Mont Blanc 'year-round 8:00–17:00'. We give both.
