Corenc walks

A short hike to enjoy this geological feature: a flaming fountain.

Easy access to Mont Rachais. View over Chartreuse, Belledonne, Grenoble and the Vercors.

A classic hike from the Col de Vence to the Fort du Saint-Eynard. The entire route follows theGR®9trail, with no difficulty in finding your way. Wide panoramic view from the summit.

This circuit runs along the Saint-Eynard ridge and offers a bird's eye view of the Grésivaudan valley and Grenoble.

Mount Rachais, from the hamlet of Frette, situated on its far northern side.

A hike with a variety of points of interest, including the beginnings of skiing, rural life with woodworking and alpine pastures, and the impressive cliffs of Chamechaude.

From Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse, climb up to the ridges of Mont Saint-Eynard, which offer beautiful panoramic views of the Belledonne mountains, the Dent de Crolles and Chamechaude.

This small peak in the forest above Sappey-en-Chartreuse makes for a very pleasant outing in the forest. There are few views, except from the summit, which offers a beautiful panorama of the Belledonne massif, Chamechaude and the Dent de Crolles.

The city has developed the western ascent of the Bastille, which is little known except to a few runners. This ascent is accessible via the Route de Clémencières. The proposed descent takes you back to the Jardin des Dauphins, but you can take another usual route (Fontaine du Lion or Porte Saint-Laurent, or even the Grenoble cable car, nicknamed "les Bulles").The slope is quite steep but safe. You will pass by some unusual views of the valley and the Grottes de Mandrin, a defensive structure of the Bastille's glacis.This hike should not be attempted in rainy weather or up to 24 hours afterwards, as the ground is slippery. The return trip is not recommended.

A challenging hike that allows you to discover the most beautiful (and least known) landscapes around the summit of Chamechaude. The route includes a few fun climbs and descents, a very short off-trail section, a breach through a cliff, a spectacular couloir and an aerial sangle overlooking numerous chamois, a guaranteed spectacle for anyone aiming to reach the summit before midday. The route is far from the summer and Sunday crowds.

In the heart of the Chartreuse mountains, the Col de Porte is a former family ski resort whose ski lifts are now closed. The paths are more or less well marked allowing you to enjoy the trails on cross-country skis or snowshoes. The proposed circuit climbs through forest, coming out on a crest and offers superb views over the entire Chartreuse mountain range.

The highest point of the Chartreuse massif. As a bonus, there is a cable to access the summit platform. Magnificent panorama of the Chartreuse, with views of Mont Blanc, Mont Aiguille and the Vercors.

A very pleasant hike, described here snowshoe users, but also good for walks on sunny days.

Circuit in Chartreuse starting from the very popular Col de Porte. The goal is the pointed summit of La Pinéa and a relaxing break at the Charmant Som chalets under the watchful eye of Chamechaude.

A well-known local walk, presenting no difficulty. It takes you to the heights of Sassenage, as well as some pleasant neighbourhoods and the village centre. The "Batteries" are a defensive structure from the "iron belt" of the late 19th century: several battery emplacements, now empty of their artillery pieces. Find out about their former function.

A leisurely stroll in the hills above Herbeys with a magnificent view of the Vercors.

Walk through the Furon Gorges leading to the top of the village, where restaurants once welcomed Grenoble residents seeking coolness on Sundays. This short walk is very popular in hot weather, as the Furon area remains cool.

The perfect family walk: easy, fun, with trails that all lead to the same place, Pré Faure. This circuit is unique in that it passes through the "Désert Jean-Jacques Rousseau", worthy of the greatest romantics, climbs up to the Ferme Froussard, a historic site linked to the Resistance, and returns via a viewpoint offering a superb view of Grenoble and its valley. More challenging access from the town of Fontaine via the "Coup de Sabre"

This is a short, easy hike on the outskirts of Grenoble, accessible by TAG bus, which will give you a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding mountains.

A beautiful hike that climbs up the west face of the Dent de Crolles and descends via the stunning plateau to the north.

This is a loop south of the Chartreuse, at a modest altitude. It starts at Chalais Monastery, climbs up the cable-assisted passageway of the chimney, then heads towards the small village of Mont-Saint-Martin and returns via the Cuchet route. Traditional yellow directional signs indicate the distance to be covered and the time needed to reach the destinations concerned.

A pleasant hike above Grenoble, fairly short but with superb views.

Short family-friendly walk with a magnificent view, manageable on foot or on snowshoes.

A family-friendly circuit starting from Chalais Monastery and ending at the eponymous Aiguille.

In summer, there is a very easy walk with magnificent views of the Grande Chartreuse, Mont Blanc and many other peaks. Dogs are not allowed at Charmant Som, even on a leash, from 10 June to 15 October.

This is a lovely loop that will give you thrills on the east face of the Dent de Crolles and allows you to take the Sangle de l'Arche à l'Aiguille and discover the aforementioned needle. The climb up to the Aiguille du Pas de l'Œille has several passages where you will need to use your hands.

This low-altitude loop takes you up an old passage equipped with ladders by hunters, before crossing the formidable Roize and returning via Chalais and its monastery.

We're going to walk on the ocean! Or how to tour a ski resort without seeing the slopes, but with a few beautiful lakes and a summit that is much more impressive than the famous Croix de Chamrousse.

This circuit has the advantage of being able to be interrupted at any time for a shorter return. It can also be the starting point for a long hike to Le Moucherotte to the north or the Col de l'Arc to the south. Finally, for very young children, there is a short round trip to the peat bog, a unique feature in this area. The views of the other mountains are only possible from the peat bog, as the rest of the hike is in the woods until Savoyères.
