Le Grand Replomb
This is a rather wild hike in Belledonne that requires a good sense of direction.
With the exception of the lower part, the markings, when they exist, are quite varied, with a few yellow marks, orange lines, blue dots and, above all, numerous cairns of all sizes.
There aretwo cable passages at (10).
Petit and Grand Replomb via Lac de Crop
A wild hike in Belledonne, beneath the rocks of l’Homme and le Ferouillet, skirting well-trodden paths yet staying far enough away to offer unique views of the varied landscape surrounding Lac de Crop.
The vegetation and streams are particularly stunning in autumn, and setting off early in the morning guarantees a chance to spot chamois or ibex.
Lac de Crop via Le Rafour – a circular route from Pré Marcel
A lovely circular route that takes you above Lac de Crop, offering a bird’s-eye view. The route is partly off the beaten track, but the path is sometimes steep, difficult to follow, and even slightly exposed on a short section just after Le Rafour. You’ll need sure-footedness and good footwear!
I’d also recommend taking a map and a GPS.
