From Sappey-en-Chartreuse to Émeindras de dessus via the high ridges

Departure from Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse (Isère)
This hike takes you to the top of the Sappey ridges, where you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views (the Belledonne mountain range, Dent de Crolles, Saint-Hugues, Chamechaude and the series of ridges).
On 28/12/18, I modified the route between the new points (1) and (2) to take into account the 2018 logging operation that destroyed the previous hiking trail (shown as a dotted line on the map).

A lovely walk offering views of the entire Sappey-en-Chartreuse valley and the surrounding mountains.

An ideal forest walk in hot weather for those looking to cool off a little.
The plus: you can go for a swim halfway along the route.
Downside: you have to cross the road on the way back (if anyone knows an ‘easy’ route through the rocky outcrop at Le Bret to avoid the road, I’d love to hear about it).
