GR®169 Around Lyon (Rhône)
From Irigny to Feyzin (Rhône)
The GR169 long-distance hiking trail doesn't cross the city center but encircles Lyon, linking the forts of the city's second ring of fortifications, built after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The route pays homage to the Séré de Rivières defense system, connecting twelve major forts, such as those of Bron, Feyzin, and Meyzieu. The itinerary is surprisingly diverse, alternating between the agricultural plains of eastern Lyon, the wooded valleys of the west, and the tranquil banks of the Rhône and Saône rivers. Hikers will traverse landscapes of hedged fields, orchards, and protected natural areas like the Grand Parc de Miribel-Jonage.
Distance: 171km, Elevation maximum: 570m, Elevation minimum: 155m, Elevation gain uphill: 2205m
