Bernin walks
Les Grandes Eymes
Visit the Haut-Bernin on a gentle walk at the foot of the Chartreuse cliff. You can contemplate a cumulative altitude of 9845m which is more than the Everest, with le Mont-Blanc (4806m), le Grand Pic de Belledonne (2977m) and la Dent de Crolles (2062m). You will meet lots of dog walkers and you will walk through forests, vineyards, and pass beehives.
Manival - Côte Bonne
Footprints in the snow for this walk, which can be enjoyed in the summer sun or in the shade of oak and fir trees...
Le Pal de Fer
An original outing that allows you to discover the superb work carried out here for the construction of the Touvet funicular railway. The ascent is on foot and the descent, to relieve the knees, is by funicular.
(Please note): This route is currently closed. See explanations here
(Comment from a hiker) dated 18 June 2023: small difficult section: crossing the scree slope where you need to use two ropes to reach the path in the forest.
From Montfort Castle to the Crolles Waterfall
A 25-minute drive from Grenoble, this is a family-friendly walk starting from the Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet funicular station, beneath the paragliders, to the path leading to the Crolles waterfall. There is little elevation gain and it can be done in all weathers.
Dent de Crolles via the Terreaux and Rocheplane steps
A splendid but little-used circular, starting from Saint-Hilaire du Touvet and passing through the Pas des Terreaux, the Dent de Crolles, the Cheminée du Paradis and the Pas de Rocheplane.
Much of the hike is on poorly marked paths on steep slopes. The Cheminée du Paradis is a small climbing step, which explains the level of difficulty.
It is possible to extend this hike in a pleasant way, either during the hike itself or nearby.
Mont Pravouta and Col des Ayes
Short family-friendly walk with a magnificent view, manageable on foot or on snowshoes.
Around the Tour d'Arces
A gentle walk along paths that seem to have been forgotten by everyone, with some lovely surprises. Several circular loops are possible in the area without the risk of getting lost. If you have children, take care: there are sometimes tricky or even dangerous sections, but if you take reasonable care, there is no reason to miss out on this lovely circular loop.
Bec Charvet Circular Loop
A lovely circular route in the Chartreuse with the Bec Charvet as the highest point, a descent towards the Col de la Faïta via the ridges and the return via a section ofthe GR®9.
From Col du Coq to Sainte-Marie-du-Mont
The route runs mainly through the Chartreuse Natural Park, passing through the massif's iconic passes and mountains. The route combines fairly steep climbs, passages through plateaus, mountain pastures and a village.
Climb up to Les Petites Roches and take flight
Whether you're a paraglider or hang glider, Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet is paradise. From the valley, the funicular takes paragliders and walkers alike to the Petites Roches plateau, where everyone can take off into the air or walk on the edge of the void.
For hikers, this route at the foot of the Dent de Crolles offers a viewpoint over the valley before entering the forest in search of the remains of the Moulin de Porte-Traîne mill.
Bec Charvet via the north-east face
A short, quiet hike offering interesting views of the Dent de Crolles and Chamechaude, far from the crowds. Significant elevation gain to the summit of Bec Charvet.
The route is partly unmarked: follow the route on the map and the instructions carefully.
Les Dioux Waterfall and the Porte Traine Mill
On the Saint-Hilaire du Touvet plateau, this is a circular loop of 2 to 3 hours that is suitable for young children.
Very shady and close to the Saint-Hilaire paragliding training slopes (FFVL South take-off point), it also gives children a fun opportunity to watch the sails inflate.
Bec Charvet
Bec Charvet is a peak located slightly off the Grande Randonnée hiking trails, offering unobstructed views of the great peaks of Chartreuse and beyond.
The following description outlines a route passing through the Emeindras de Dessus mountain pasture, where you can already enjoy a beautiful view of the panorama.
Cabane de Pravouta - La Plagne
Third and final day of this trip to the Chartreuse to collect the car.
The summit of Pravouta, crossing from Saint-Hugues
Pravouta is a secondary peak in the Chartreuse range that is very popular due to its accessibility and its location, which makes it a beautiful viewpoint. Most visitors climb it from the Grésivaudan-Petites Roches side via the Col du Coq. This route takes you up the Saint Hugues-en-Chartreuse side and back down to the starting point.
