District:
Park at Col du Coq. The path is not signposted by the park’s signs.
(S/E) Take the forest track facing the Dent de Crolles. Follow this track for a few metres until you see some tables on the left.
(1) Take the path climbing up to the right. Purple signs for the “Circuit du Bec Charvet” snowshoe route help you find your way.
In front of you, there is a tree with a purple sign. Turn left and continue climbing the path. It remains clearly marked, but you’ll need to look up occasionally to see where it winds through.
From this point onwards, the only markings are some old blue markings found on a few stones and tree trunks. The path runs beneath the ridge, heading west, and leads out onto a valley which you must cross. Look for the path opposite, a little further up on the left. Follow the trail carefully.
(2) Take the path on the left that climbs towards Bec Charvet. Reach Becen by following the well-marked path. Enjoy the view.
(3) Descend to the right along the path, heading west, and follow it to the Col de la Faîta. There are no markings, but the path is well-defined and remains visible all along the ridge. You will then rejoin theGR®9, which is shared with theGRP® Tour de Chartreuse.
(4) Turn right onto it and follow the red-and-white markings. You’ll reach a track; follow it to the right for a few metres.
(5) Leave the track and continue on the path (GR®9) which climbs to the right. After passing a spring catchment, rejoin the Col du Coq road and follow it uphill for a few metres to reach the car park (S/E).
