La Forteresse walks

A family walk surrounded by works of art. With the added bonus of a splendid view of the Vercors.

This is a pleasant walk. You will pass through walnut groves and the valleys of the Chambarans foothills, enjoy the undergrowth and, at the end, take in the exceptional views of the Pre-Alps and the Alps, all enhanced by the sculptures of the "Arts aux 4 vents" at the end of the trail.

This is a fairly short trail through the village of Izeaux. It takes you around the centre of the village, and offers some lovely views of the village.Take a few 'tracolets' through the heart of the village, and you'll discover some of the remarkable features of Izeaux.

Wind through the valleys between Brion and Saint-Michel-de-Saint-Geoirs, then climb up to the ridge where you will have 360° views of Mezenc, Pilat, the Plaine de la Bièvre, the Chartreuse, Belledone, and the Vercors. End by walking through Mouillasson forest to get back to your vehicle.

Please note: due to a major landslide, this hike is currently not possible. You start by walking along the Isère river through walnut trees. You then climb up the foothills of the Vercors, before returning via the Gaffe footbridge and the wild, steep-sided Gorgonnet gorges.

This hike will take you into the charming Gorges du Gorgonnet. It is a family-friendly route. However, caution is advised. Although the trail is wide and comfortable, there are no guardrails in some places, so keep an eye on children. At the end of the gorges, they can enjoy a natural swimming pool with particularly clear (and cold) water.

This trail is an invitation to walk through medieval, rural and geological history and enjoy the natural beauty of an Isère valley deeply rooted between the alluvial plain and the cliffs of the Vercors. A great getaway for the curious, families, hikers and heritage enthusiasts!

Easy walk on this “tooth” overlooking the Isère valley and offering an interesting view over the east foothills of Chartreuse.

A very easy loop through this peaceful woodland. The chestnut wood is home to several protected bird species. This walk is best enjoyed in spring or on the last beautiful days of autumn.

Pretty steep-sided gorge through which the Nan torrent flows. You can take a dip in the torrent in summer. A wooded trail that is lovely to stroll along. This hike can be split into two parts. In summer, only the gorges are interesting, as the Gerlette waterfall may be dry. Best done in spring when the waters are flowing freely.

Immerse yourself in the Chambaran Forest from the Trappe. Head to Gargamelle, a ruin in a clearing, to see the Smurfs or, if not, deer or roe deer. Walk part of the Way of St James in Chambaran. Please note: this is an old, manual GPS track, see reviews

A remarkable walk in the Écouges forest, classified as a protected sensitive area. This walk is very family-friendly and suitable for children in pushchairs. However,be careful at the viewpoint as the walk is high up.

This walk offers a multitude of additional routes to vary according to your mood! This one is designed to satisfy the most curious: visit the Glacière, Pas de la Clé and Becs de l'Orient, with superb panoramic views over the entire Isère valley. A flower-filled, refreshing walk with panoramic views.

A wild hike starting from the Gève plateau in the magnificent Vercors forest. The route along the northern ridge of the Vercors offers breathtaking views of the Isère valley, the Grenoble conurbation, the Voiron area and the Chartreuse mountains.

You climb the hillside of La Côte Saint-André (ND de Sciez) from where you have a remarkable view: from the Monts du Pilat in the west to the Mont du Chat in the north-east, passing through the Vercors, Belledonne and Chartreuse. From certain vantage points, on clear days you can even see the summit of Mont Blanc. On the way back, you will pass by the village's main attractions.

A day's walk, quite lovely and varied. You start by going through the Grand Platon Forest, then going along the south-east bank of the lake with beautiful views over the lake. You change banks and go along the Feydelière and Véronnière marshes ('Marais' - protected sites). The return is via the north-west bank of the lake with beautiful views over Chartreuse and, if the weather is clear, Mont Blanc.

A walk between the countryside and the town of Saint-Marcellin, which can be shortened or extended as desired. You will cross the Cumane, pass under the viaduct and visit the allotment gardens. On the ridges of Saint-Marcellin, you will be treated to a superb view.

A diverse hike: forests, ridges, vast panoramic views...

From the hamlet of Le Truc at the north-eastern entrance to the village of Autrans, you can access La Molière mountain and discover the Isère valley and the city of Grenoble through a gap in the mountain. Higher up, you will see all the mountains surrounding Grenoble and its region. Don't look for the "pas" (step) of the bear as a paw print because, here as is often the case in the mountains, "pas" is a diminutive of "passage" (passage).

An easy walk among the ponds in the heart of the Nantoin Forest. At the end of the walk, you will be rewarded with a splendid view of the Liers plain, the Chartreuse, the Alps and the Vercors.
