The title of this hike should be “Bivouac at Puy Gris”, as this viewpoint offers a unique experience to anyone spending a night there under the stars: splendid sunsets and sunrises against a magnificent panorama, the finest in Belledonne. Magnificent lakes dot the route and alpine wildlife is a regular sight.
Any difficult hike requires preparation, and this very difficult hike demands careful planning beforehand.

A circular walk through a rocky landscape shaped by glaciers and dotted with mirror-like lakes. After the peaceful mountain pastures of Lac Léat above the Haut Bréda valley and then the Combe Grasse, the walk takes you to the passes and peaks surrounding Puy Gris before descending towards the scenic setting formed by the lakes of Grande Valloire.
The hike can be done with an overnight stay in a mountain hut and can be combined with the easy ascent of Puy Gris: see the ‘During the hike’ section.
