Description

There are four routes, all beginning at Place Saint-Jean, covering distances of 7 to 20 km.
They offer a chance for all – from non-athletes to experienced walkers – to walk through Lyon’s most iconic sites, including the Parc de la Tête d'Or, Place Bellecour, the hills of Croix-Rousse and Fourvière, Vieux-Lyon (Old Lyon) and many other districts.

The routes are mainly along pedestrian paths, on stable ground and tarmac. They are sign-posted and safe, and there are also fun and welcoming places to stop for refreshments.
Heritage guides can be found along the route to inform curious Nordic walkers!

The event is also an opportunity to let your family and friends have a go, with free pole rental and introductory training sessions.

There is a fun and friendly atmosphere: musical entertainment, regional produce, heritage guides and many other surprises await!
