La Cochette
A short mountain hike leading to an exceptional viewpoint.
Trek around Mont Outheran starting from Désert d'Entremont
A beautiful hike to be done with or without snowshoes.
La Cochette and Le Mont Outheran via the Pas du Cuert
A lovely, short but scenic walk, featuring numerous viewpoints and an interesting section: the Pas du Cuert.
Mont Outhéran circular walk from Saint-Thibaud-de-Couz
A challenging and demanding route: a steep climb at the start, a 5 km track, the Pas du Cuert and the return via a ridge littered with tricky sharp limestone pavements. Plenty of shade throughout the entire route (phew!). I’d rate it as very difficult due to the Pas du Cuert, the length of the walk and the descent from the plateau whilst tired.
Circuit of Mont Outheran, via the Col du Mollard, Col du Planet and Col du Grapillon
A mountain bike tour of Mont Outheran via the Col du Mollard, Col du Planet and Col du Grapillon, allowing you to explore its different sides with relatively limited elevation changes as the route never descends very far down.

Aulp du Seuil Hut – Pravouta Hut
Day2 of this trip via the Col de Bellefont to reach the Dent de Crolles plateau.Descent via the pass above the Trou du Glaz, then down to the Col des Ayes and up the Roc d’Arguille to the Col de Pravouta and the hut of the same name.
⚠️ 27/11/2025: Route modified following a rockfall. It is no longer possible to take the path via the Trou du Glaz (5). The area remains particularly dangerous due to the high risk of further rockfall and falling boulders. Following this incident, the municipality of Saint-Pierre de Chartreuse has issued a by-law to close several hiking trails (for walking, snowshoeing and ski touring). For an ascent of the Dent de Crolles, it is possible to take the route via the Pas de l’Oeille.
You can also go via the Guiers waterfalls to reach (E).
Col de Bellefont via Le Chaos and back via the Col de Saulce
A beautiful, wild hike in the heart of the Chartreuse and on the edge of its nature reserve. The route starts in the woodland, to the sound of the waterfall and the source of the Guiers, climbs up the cliff face, crosses the wild and rugged Chaos de Bellefont, passes through mountain pastures, and reaches the ridge with its stunning views.
Cabane de Pravouta - La Plagne
Third and final day of this trip to the Chartreuse to collect the car.
From Col du Coq to Sainte-Marie-du-Mont
The route runs mainly through the Chartreuse Natural Park, passing through the massif's iconic passes and mountains. The route combines fairly steep climbs, passages through plateaus, mountain pastures and a village.
Le Pal de Fer
An original outing that allows you to discover the superb work carried out here for the construction of the Touvet funicular railway. The ascent is on foot and the descent, to relieve the knees, is by funicular.
(Please note): This route is currently closed. See explanations here
(Comment from a hiker) dated 18 June 2023: small difficult section: crossing the scree slope where you need to use two ropes to reach the path in the forest.
