The starting point is on the market square or Place Henri Barbusse. Please note that the weekly market is on Tuesdays, so there is no parking on that day. Also be aware that some parking spaces are in the blue zone.
(S/E) From the back of the car park, climb up a path that starts behind an EDF transformer station. You will soon reach a small local road.
Turn left and continue uphill, going straight ahead, past the cemetery and onto a dirt track.
This path climbs steadily and joins the D5 departmental road. Follow the road in the same direction until you reach a crossroads with hiking signs.
(1) Cross the road and take the path opposite, which climbs through the meadow and becomes almost horizontal.
You will reach a small road lined with houses built on stilts on the slope. Continue until you reach the D5a departmental road, which leads to the village of Montchaboud. Turn right to cross the village.
(2) When you reach a wash house, follow the road downhill to the left and continue on this road, ignoring a path that branches off to the right. The descent continues until you reach a place called La Croix de la Vue, where several paths intersect. This is a good place to take a short break.
(3) Turn left towards Vizille. The descent continues until you reach a small road, not far from the hotel "Le Château de Cornage".
(4) Turn left and continue straight ahead, ignoring the road that branches off to the right towards the industrial estate.
(5) At the crossroads, turn left, pass in front of the campsite and head towards the Matons district.
(6) When you reach a group of villas and a building, cross Avenue de Vénaria and take the street opposite, which slopes slightly upwards (Chemin des Mattons). At the intersection, keep to the right and follow the street downhill until you reach Avenue Maurice Thorez.
(7) Turn left, then turn right at the traffic lights and cross Rue Général de Gaulle to reach the car park and the starting point (S/E).
