Lac Blanc (Belledonne) walks
Lac Blanc from the Col de Pré Long
Lac Blanc is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful lakes in the Belledonne massif with its turquoise colour. This hike offers the best of Belledonne: forests, torrents, scree slopes, mountain pastures and mineral landscapes. The beauty of the landscapes along the route makes up for the somewhat strenuous climb.
Lac Blanc de Belledonne from Chenevrey via Le Pleynet
A very beautiful hike, difficult due to the elevation gain on the way there and back, which leaves no time to rest and leads to a fabulous lake.
Puy Gris
The title of this hike should be “Bivouac at Puy Gris”, as this viewpoint offers a unique experience to anyone spending a night there under the stars: splendid sunsets and sunrises against a magnificent panorama, the finest in Belledonne. Magnificent lakes dot the route and alpine wildlife is a regular sight.
Any difficult hike requires preparation, and this very difficult hike demands careful planning beforehand.
Tour du Grand Replomb
A circular tour of 2 days in the Belledonne massif, set against the backdrop of the majestic Lac Blanc and Lac de Crop. Numerous views of the neighbouring massifs: Chartreuse, Bauges and Vercors.

Crossing the Montagne des Quatre Seigneurs
There are countless route options in this forested area on the outskirts of the Grenoble conurbation, delighting both walkers and mountain bikers alike. The advantage of this route, linking the village of Saint-Martin-d’Uriage to Eybens, is that it offers varied views, first of the Belledonne massif and then of the “capital of the Alps”, dominated by the Vercors and the Chartreuse.
Manival - Côte Bonne
Footprints in the snow for this walk, which can be enjoyed in the summer sun or in the shade of oak and fir trees...
Le Pal de Fer
An original outing that allows you to discover the superb work carried out here for the construction of the Touvet funicular railway. The ascent is on foot and the descent, to relieve the knees, is by funicular.

(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.
From Col du Coq to Sainte-Marie-du-Mont
The route runs mainly through the Chartreuse Natural Park, passing through the massif's iconic passes and mountains. The route combines fairly steep climbs, passages through plateaus, mountain pastures and a village.
