It is almost a suburban walk, not too busy during the week.
And yet you are already in the Bauges with its characteristic buildings.
From the start to the waterfall, you are on theGR®96.
Then, from the pass to the ridge trail via Mont Peney, you are on the GRP®.

This hike is quite physically demanding in the first part. The section along the Doria is really very pleasant. At the summit, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Belledonne and Chartreuse. The fairly long descent is not particularly difficult.
