Departure from Revel (Isère) (Isère)
Assez fréquentée, la randonnée au Grand Colon se prolonge habituellement par la descente sur le charmant Lac Merlat, pour rejoindre le refuge et le Col de la Pra, puis par le Vallon Mercier, le Lac Crozet. Le parcours, ici proposé, est une alternative moins belle, mais plus secrète, présentant un raccourci à cette descente classique.
Du Grand Colon un sentier longe une éminence rocheuse, légèrement plus haute (cote 2402), située au Nord-Est, puis passe un col pour descendre un pierrier encaissé, entre La Roche Fendue et le Galeteau, avant de retrouver le Vallon Mercier et le Lac Crozet.

An easy hike to start your Belledone traverse gently. No fewer than four lakes dot the route, most of which are suitable for swimming and/or a nap. This description treats the hike as a one-way trip, but a day trip (there and back) is also possible.A more challenging alternative is available; see here

Departure from Saint-Martin-d'Uriage (Isère)
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.
