La Pointe de la Sitre
This is a beautiful hike that climbs to Pointe de la Sitre and makes a detour to the lake of the same name.
There you will find a magnificent view of the Grésivaudan valley and the Grand Pic de Belledonne.
This hike is not particularly difficult, except perhaps for the slopes, which can be steep in places.
Loop via Lac du Crozet, Grande Sitre and the Refuge du Pré du Molard
This hike takes you on a loop around Lake Crozet, covering several types of terrain (scree, a mountain pass, forest, lakes). It does not present any significant technical difficulties (climbing, exposed passages), but there are some sections in full sun and a few steep slopes.

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.

Footprints in the snow for this walk, which can be enjoyed in the summer sun or in the shade of oak and fir trees...
Sept Laux J2

(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.
