Transports in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
The A6 and the A7 are the main north-south routes via Lyon. The A40 passes through some high mountain territory on its way to the Mont Blanc Tunnel that connects Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with Italy. Some fast trains stop at the major city intersections, like Lyon, while TER Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes runs most of the local railway services.
When to go to Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Winter sports fans flock to the mountains of Isère and Chamonix when the snows start to fall. However, both areas are equally as delightful in the summer when they are ideal places to go hiking. The end of August sees an annual street theatre festival in Aurillac, a pretty city in Auvergne. The gastronomic centre of Lyon holds a festival dedicated to food which takes place every September. This is followed by Lyon's very own dragon boat event later in the month.
