Signposting along the Via Allier
The Via Allier cycle route is entirely signposted between Nevers and Langogne. You need to follow the green and white signs indicating the direction to follow. On certain stretches, along with the signposting, you may also notice the Via Allier logo and the route’s national identification number, V70.
Via Allier .GPX tracks
The GPX tracks for the Via Allier’s 18 stages can be downloaded from the stage pages.
Once downloaded, you can import them onto your smartphone (or GPS device) and open them in a dedicated app. Examples of suitable apps include: Komoot; GPX Viewer; Orux Map...
You can also put together your own journey by adding the relevant stages to a tailored roadbook, then downloading the cycle route tracks.
Guidebooks and maps
At time of writing, there is no paper guidebook describing the whole route. A Carnet de route 30 pages in length, with detailed maps of the stages at a scale of 1:100,000, will be available in French from end June 2022, but only in PDF format. You’ll be able to print out the pages that interest you at home. A guidebook published by éditions Glénat covering the Auvergne does feature details on the cycle route between Pont-du-Château and Brioude. You can also download the route’s general introductory map or download .PDF files of all the stages via our website.
