Departure from the car park of the church in Revel.
(S/E) Follow the departmental road (Route de Revel) which descends towards Domène until you reach Route de la Bourgeat
(1). Turn right and continue along this small road, which winds through the neighbourhood, and straight on to the forest path that climbs up to the right and leads to the "Bourgeat" signpost. The forest path climbs gently, alternating between woods and meadows, accompanied by the song of the chickadees. Turn around to admire the first views of Belledonne and the back of the Chamrousse resort.
Some sections may be muddy.
A beautiful view of Grenoble, the Chartreuse and the Vercors awaits you at Naysoard.
Please note: when I passed by, the signpost was broken and lying in the grass.
(2) Continue along the path that climbs to the right.
(3) When you reach the meadow, take the path on the right that can be seen in the grass, not the path that runs along the woods on the left.
The path climbs steadily through the meadow and then along the forest. In autumn and winter, you will see beautiful views of the Chartreuse mountains between the trees. This is the most difficult part, but fortunately, steep climbs alternate with a few flat sections that allow you to catch your breath.
Cross the D280 road carefully and climb directly up the small path opposite until you reach the intersection of paths.
(4) Take the path on the left, then continue climbing to the right at the next fork. Climb until you reach a viewpoint in the meadow on the right. Leave the path for a few moments to admire the view. The climb continues for a few more moments before beginning to descend towards the hamlet of Le Rousset.
From there, the wild part ends and the descent continues through the hamlets of Le Rousset, Le Soubon and Les Jallets.
(5) Follow thesecond path on the right, which descends between rows of trees and passes pretty wooden and stone houses. When you reach the tarmac road of Chemin de Lavis, turn right, then left, staying on the path until you reach Route des Freydières. Keep right until you reach the crossroads sign.
(6) Find a narrow path that passes between the houses to avoid the tarmac road.
When you reach Route du Balcon de Belledonne, cross it and take the path that descends opposite, which is paved at first and then becomes a dirt track. Continue straight downhill, crossing another tarmac road until you reach Soubon.
(7) Take Chemin du Genevray on the right, which leads to Route du Soubon. Follow this road for a few metres to the right.
(8) Follow the dirt track to the left, which descends alongside a house (pieces of orange sheathing serve as a guide along the house). Continue straight downhill to Les Jaillets. There, you will find a yellow sign pointing left towards Revel. Continue downhill towards the church until you reach your starting point (S/E).
