Departure from Voreppe (Isère)
A lovely, fairly long circular route with the Chalais Monastery—which overlooks the town of Voreppe—as your destination; this is a slightly more challenging alternative to the usual drive up the road to the monastery.
The views from the Aiguille de Chalais and the Rocher de Bellevue are breathtaking!
