Departure from Saint-Pancrasse (Isère)
A magnificent, challenging hike taking in the most beautiful landscapes around the Dent de Crolles. The difficulty lies in the exposure of the east ridge of the Dent, the short climb up the Cheminée du Paradis and a section of the route that is off the beaten track. The most exposed section is the east ridge, but it is possible to avoid it.
The Gothic cathedral formed by the Arche à l'Aiguille is rarely visited, even by locals, so marmots and chamois abound there.
