Departure from Proveysieux (Isère)
A very beautiful circular route linking two of the peaks overlooking the Col de Porte, via a picturesque and relatively quiet route. The peaks and ridges offer superb views of the Chartreuse and the surrounding mountain ranges: Vercors, Dévoluy, Taillefer, Oisans, Grandes Rousses and Belledonne.As the ascent is mainly in the shade, this hike—ideal for hot weather—presents no technical difficulties; however, care should be taken on the Vermorel path.

Departure from Quaix-en-Chartreuse (Isère)
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.

(Please note): This route is currently closed. See explanations here
(Comment from a hiker) dated 18 June 2023: small difficult section: crossing the scree slope where you need to use two ropes to reach the path in the forest.

Day2 of this trip via the Col de Bellefont to reach the Dent de Crolles plateau.Descent via the pass above the Trou du Glaz, then down to the Col des Ayes and up the Roc d’Arguille to the Col de Pravouta and the hut of the same name.
⚠️ 27/11/2025: Route modified following a rockfall. It is no longer possible to take the path via the Trou du Glaz (5). The area remains particularly dangerous due to the high risk of further rockfall and falling boulders. Following this incident, the municipality of Saint-Pierre de Chartreuse has issued a by-law to close several hiking trails (for walking, snowshoeing and ski touring). For an ascent of the Dent de Crolles, it is possible to take the route via the Pas de l’Oeille.
You can also go via the Guiers waterfalls to reach (E).
