An original alternative to the usual route up to La Pinéa from the Col de Porte, mainly through woodland and very little used. An ideal hike in summer thanks to the coolness of the forest. The 360° view from the summit of La Pinéa is magnificent, taking in the Chartreuse, Belledonne and the Vercors.

This exploratory hike along the paths on the northern flank of the Vercors should be treated as a training session if it is cold higher up. There are three viewpoints, two of which have been developed.
That said, the constant change in gradient along this route is sure to please any hiker or runner hoping to tackle the drovers' road leading to the Sornin plateau at a later date.
This walk is only enjoyable in dry weather, as the slopes become slippery after rain.
