Petit and Grand Replomb via Lac de Crop

Very difficult
Departure from Laval (Isère)
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

Difficult
Departure from Sainte-Agnès (Isère) (Isère)
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.
