Le Habert de Chamechaude

I'm thinking of doing this hike in July, so I can't give my opinion, sorry

We found that the trails in the area are poorly signposted. There is a lack of signs.

From the car park at the cross-country skiing centre, turn left onto the road that leads back to the village. The trailhead is a little further on, on the right.
The climb is quite steep. But when you arrive at Le Habert, you can take shelter in the small refuge, which is open.
Much of the trail is in the forest.

The landscape at the finish line is superb, with beautiful weather. The return trip via Emeindras is very muddy, but given how much rain has fallen over the past few weeks, this is hardly surprising. Magnificent views on the way down, parish specific to Brittany, open landscapes. Pastures in Emeindras and mountain flowers, a good harvest of photos for identification.

Hike done during the week, so not many people. Easy to access with a wide panorama as soon as you arrive at Le Habert. Option to do a circular and return via the pass.
Bring a hat and water as it is an open area with little shade.

A pleasant hike with no particular difficulties, apart from the fact that the climb is steep from the outset. It's a shame that the entire route is through forest, where there are no views, but it's still enjoyable on hot days! A wonderful reward awaits you when you arrive at the refuge: a splendid panorama! The Belledonnes are marvellous!

A beautiful walk in the snow, with no need for snowshoes or crampons as the trail has been well marked out

magnificent view at the top and a well-built refuge where you can take shelter

Hike done in winter. The entire climb is under forest cover, so you can do without snowshoes and enjoy the tranquillity of the woods. Once at Habert, it's difficult to continue without snowshoes or proper clothing, but the view is superb. Great!

The climb is surrounded by trees, but the view from the top is superb.
Towards the top of the route, it seems to me that there is a sign missing at a junction.
That said, there aren't many paths, so there's little risk of getting lost.
Don't hesitate to take the winding path at the end, rather than the marked trail.

Even though the hike is classified as easy (thanks to a simple route), the elevation gain and rocky trail may seem difficult for children, especially since the landscape is limited in the undergrowth. The winding trail on the last part makes it less difficult (knowing this may be encouraging). The motivation came from the challenge of reaching the viewpoint, which is a real reward for the effort of the walk.
Habert de Chamechaude can also be reached from Col de Porte, where you can expect to find clearer views more quickly.

beautiful route, but best done in dry weather
do the circular loop via Emeindras, a well-marked trail.

The climb through the forest is nothing special, but the view, which you only discover when you reach the habert, makes it all the more enjoyable. Thank you for this route!

Great hike, experienced walkers should allow 1½ hours to reach Le Habert.
We followed a route continuing on from Le Habert towards Eimendras, arriving at a beautiful meadow facing the magnificent cliffs of Chamechaude (a 40-minute walk from Le Habert). Then we returned to Le Sappey.
A very pleasant walk with no difficulties and well signposted.
