Mont Rachais from Grenoble circular route
10.54 mi
+3,386 ft
-3,386 ft
5 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Grenoble (Isère)
A beautiful, physically demanding route in the hills above Grenoble with impressive views.
Quite a long route, with the possibility of running on several sections. Be careful, however, as the route on the La Tronche side is a bit chaotic.
Circular Grand Châtelard loop via the Grand Truc
10.15 mi
+3,822 ft
-3,839 ft
8h 00
Difficult
Departure from Jarrier (Savoie)
Please note: This walk is particularly long (make sure you take plenty of water in hot weather, as the route is exposed to the sun from start to finish).
It is possible not to complete the entire route. You can descend directly via the Col de Cochemin (without going via the Grand Truc).
Mont Charvet from Les Confins
9.14 mi
+4,580 ft
-4,570 ft
7 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from La Clusaz (Haute-Savoie)
A superb hike with a beautiful panoramic view of the whole Aravis range and the Mont Blanc valley from the summit.
Please note: the final part of the ascent is difficult (bordering on rock climbing).
I recommend wearing a helmet due to the risk of falling rocks, especially if the route is busy and/or because of the ibex, which can dislodge rocks. A lanyard will be useful if you do not feel comfortable on the rock face.
Please take these recommendations seriously.
