Departure from Échirolles (Isère)
The Grenoble metropolitan area has developed a Frange Verte (Green Belt) to the south, bringing together several walking trails that are popular with everyone and offer views of the mountains.
This route takes you along the Frange Verte in Échirolles, up the Combe de la Gouderie to the Étang de Jarrie-Le-Haut, then down the Voie Romaine, which no longer exists today.
The route is classified as easy, although the climb up the Gouderie may put some people off. Fortunately, it is relatively short.
