Difficult
Departure from Notre-Dame-de-Vaulx (Isère)
This lovely circular route leads to the Conest (or Conex or Connex) summit plateau, which is a vast area of pasture.
Although the climb may seem a little long, it is very pleasant and a magnificent reward awaits the hiker once at the top: a 360° panorama offering views of the Belledonne, Taillefer, Grandes-Rousses, Dévoluy and Vercors mountain ranges.
The ‘Difficult’ rating is due to the combination of distance and elevation gain, both of which are significant.
