Around the Guiers Mort (2): the gorges

We came across closed barriers because the bridge was in very poor condition.

Is access to this hike possible again?

Hello,
Thank you for your review, which makes us dream in this hot weather.
Unfortunately for us, the trail is currently closed for works from 14 August to 30 November 2023 (the "blasting" sign is very off-putting).
Access by car from Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse is also closed (long detour via Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont).
Access to the car park gives a taste of the gorges, which look magnificent.
Beautiful hikes to be rescheduled!

A magnificent walk along the Guiers. We did it this autumn, after a lot of rain, the water flow was strong and it was fantastic. The noise level is high, both because of the water and the road nearby (thanks to the motorbikes).
In terms of difficulty, there are a few steps to negotiate, which I think could be tricky at times for children under 7, as well as for people with joint problems or tendonitis. But it's not impossible, you just need to allow more time and take it slowly. Especially when the ground is slippery.

You might think it will be quick, but think again: allow two hours for the round trip and make sure you are in good physical condition.
The weather was wet, and we took walking sticks because the rocks slowed us down.
Follow the blue fish markers to avoid getting lost.
It's a magnificent route.
You can return via the upper path, but it is not well maintained.
The first bridge is unstable, but that's normal!
We climbed the big rock on our stomachs!
And at the end, there's a beautiful view of Pic de l'Oeuillette!

Fairly easy route with a return (except for young children), a few rocks to climb but it's great fun!
Several bridges and footbridges, very close to the stream, very cool, several places accessible for swimming. A walk to do in hot weather, it's perfect because it's at the bottom of the gorge.
I don't know if it's possible to return via the opposite bank, which would be nice, but we didn't have time to explore!

A truly beautiful hike. Magnificent nature with interesting vegetation and beautiful lighting. The week before this hike, the region experienced rainfall equivalent to a month and a half of precipitation, so the Guier Mort had an impressive flow that caused a deafening noise throughout the hike, which was dizzying. This vertigo added to the difficulty of the passages described as "delicate" in the description. Because of these "delicate" passages, we were forced to turn back before the end of the route. Despite the layout of this route (cables and concrete steps), it is too difficult for us, who are well equipped but aged 68 and 69, with age-related muscle and tendon problems. Therefore, I do not agree with the "Moderate" rating and the numerous "Easy" comments. This route should be classified as difficult despite its interest. In any case, good footwear is essential.

A superb walk with my husband and sons (aged 16 and 13).
It was 30 degrees, but as the walk is in the woods and there are waterfalls and pools, it was very pleasant and refreshing.
The children took a dip.
We really enjoyed it.

On Monday 11 April, with summer sunshine. A beautiful route to explore the gorges, very well marked (blue fish) and thanks to the volunteers who created it, because you can't go wrong if you follow it. Very good explanations of the route to follow. A truly magnificent walk with beautiful photos to take all along the Guiers. A treat for slow-motion photography.
