The Crêts du Poulet

Description of the walk

Park at the cross-country ski centre, which can be reached via Tencin, Theys and then the Col du Barioz.

(S/E) Take the forest road that follows the road for about 300 metres and turn left towards Chalet Pierre Roubet.

(1) At the Pierre Roubet meadow, head towards the chalet of the same name (1551m).

(2) Continue north to reach a path that runs alongside a forest road. Continue along this path, which cuts across the hairpin bends of the forest road, to reach the Crêt du Poulet refuge.

(3) Then climb behind the refuge to reach the two orientation tables at Crêt du Poulet.
Enjoy the beautiful panoramic views: one over the Vercors, Chartreuse and Bauges mountains, the other over Belledonne.

(4) Retrace your steps to return to the cross-country ski centre car park (S/E).

Waypoints

  2. 1 : km 0.92 - alt. 1,525 m - Prairie Pierre Roubet
  3. 2 : km 1.07 - alt. 1,548 m - Chalet de Pierre Roubet
  4. 3 : km 2.75 - alt. 1,696 m - Refuge le Crêt du Poulet
  5. 4 : km 3.01 - alt. 1,715 m - Orientation tables Crêt du Poulet
  6. S/E : km 6.02 - alt. 1,416 m - Barioz cross-country skiing centre

Notes

From the refuge, if you wish, you can take the path that follows the ridge southwards and climb several small peaks offering beautiful views before descending via Lac de la Belle Aiguette.

Be careful not to follow the forest path, which is easier but less enjoyable than theGRP® Tour des Balcons des 7 Laux.

Nice walk, but avoid doing it when it's hot because there's very little shade

A beautiful hike with magical views of Belledonne, Chartreuse, Vercors and more. Although the start is well signposted, after Chalet de Pierre Roubet, follow the directions on the information sheet carefully as there are no signposts.

A lovely, easy hike. The starting point is quite far from the Col du Barioz, so it would be useful to specify this.

Magnificent view of three beautiful mountain ranges: La Chartreuse, Les Belledonne and Les Bauges.
The markings for the ascent are very visible.
The return route via Lake Aiguette is not marked, but is easy to follow as the path is fairly easy to spot.

A pleasant walk, and the return via the forest road means you don't have to go back the same way.

The walk is fairly easy
The directions are very good, we didn't have too much trouble finding the trail
It was an opportunity for me to test my GPS watch, and I'm delighted with the little GPX file from VisoRando!

Thank you

a beautiful hike, very popular with blueberry pickers. We pushed on to the Grand Rocher, which was still very easy.
