Claix (Isère) walks

This short walk gives you an overview of the village and the Champagnier plateau. After the Saut du Moine, you can enjoy views of the Jarrie hillside with the Belledonne mountain range and the Chartreuse mountains in the background.

A hike on the eastern flank of the Vercors above Lans-en-Vercors takes you to Le Moucherotte via the Vertige des Cimes, a footbridge that juts out two metres above the void. An easy hike offering spectacular views of all the surrounding mountains and Grenoble.

One of the peaks bordering the Vercors Regional Park to the east. Relatively easy to access, in good weather it offers a wide panorama from Mont Blanc on your left to the Écrins massif via the Belledonne chain. The climb via the Combe Oursière is less frequented than via Les Allières. A well-shaded route for most of the way.

Family hike offering a bird's eye view of Grenoble and a beautiful view of the Gerbier ridge.

This easily accessed summit is located on a ridge between the "Vallée de la Gresse" and the Vercors plateau. It offers a breathtaking view on Belledonne, Les Rousses and a bit further Les Ecrins.

Short hike in the Bruyant Gorges, with a beautiful view of the Furon Gorges at the Bec de l'Aigle.

This hike will take you along the Sentier Gobert, famous for its rich flora, which is in full bloom during June and July. This mountain trail also offers splendid views of the Lans-en-Vercors plain and Villard-de-Lans.

The Gobert trail is very popular with hikers for its rich flora, which can be discovered all along the way between the Pic Saint-Michel crossroads and the Roybon hut. This almost horizontal section also offers a remarkable view of the Vercors plateau between Lans-en-Vercors and Villard-de-Lans.

From the hamlet of Le Truc at the north-eastern entrance to the village of Autrans, you can access La Molière mountain and discover the Isère valley and the city of Grenoble through a gap in the mountain. Higher up, you will see all the mountains surrounding Grenoble and its region. Don't look for the "pas" (step) of the bear as a paw print because, here as is often the case in the mountains, "pas" is a diminutive of "passage" (passage).

A diverse hike: forests, ridges, vast panoramic views...

A short family walk offering excellent views for the effort. Best done on a day with good visibility. Please note: a hiker has informed us that in summer, at weekends, access to the plateau is restricted: you must take a shuttle bus (or a chairlift, which is quite far away).

Climb from the very pretty spot called Les Clots towards the Col Vert and descend via the Combe Charbonnière, a scree slope that is a little tricky to navigate. View of the Belledonne massif from the Col. This allows you to get a good view of the Vercors landscapes and enjoy the variety of the mid-mountain terrain. Not to be attempted in winter! Between 6 and 7, there is a high risk of avalanches, especially towards the Combe de la Charbonnière.

Although located within a ski resort, this circular route avoids deforested and lunar landscapes as much as possible. The ascent is mostly through forest on little-used tracks. The crossing of the north-west ridge is superb, culminating in the magnificent Arche de la Fenêtre. The aerial descent of the east ridge leads to the Col des Deux Sœurs.The return journey to the Pas de l'Œil is via a little-used path that continues along the foot of the Gerbier ridges. Via the Combe Charbonnière, the route joins theGR®®91, which takes you back to the Balcon de Villard.

A hike in the heart of the Vercors to discover ibex (numerous and not shy in these mountains). And as a bonus on arrival, beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

This is a beautiful, easy hike with relatively little elevation gain, which will allow you to discover the lakes of Matheysine and the surrounding mountains.

A wild hike starting from the Gève plateau in the magnificent Vercors forest. The route along the northern ridge of the Vercors offers breathtaking views of the Isère valley, the Grenoble conurbation, the Voiron area and the Chartreuse mountains.

This walk offers a multitude of additional routes to vary according to your mood! This one is designed to satisfy the most curious: visit the Glacière, Pas de la Clé and Becs de l'Orient, with superb panoramic views over the entire Isère valley. A flower-filled, refreshing walk with panoramic views.
