My starting point is at the car park on Route des JO 68.
The route follows theGR®®91trail and is therefore clearly marked in red and white.
(S/E) Head north and, at the end of the street, turn right to quickly reach the Chemin du Belvédère.
(1) At the viewpoint, follow theGR®®91to the right, heading due south as it climbs towards the Moucherotte,
(2) Continue on and, shortly after the barrier, you’ll reach a crossroads of paths.
(3) Take the path to the left along an easy stretch, then begin a steeper climb. You’ll reach a wider track – this is the old ski run. At a bend, you’ll come to a junction with a path leading to Les Trois Pucelles.
(4) Keep to the right on the old ski run. After a steady climb, pass the hamlet of La Cheminée to reach a flat area at a junction of paths.
(5) Turn right onto the path and continue following the GR®® signposting. After a long, easy traverse and passing a spring, turn right in an almost 180° turn to reach a restored and open mountain hut.
(6) Then begin the final ascent to reach the summit of Moucherotte.
(7) Follow the same route back in the opposite direction to return to the car park you chose at the start (S/E).
