Croix de Chamrousse - Refuge de la Pra
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
La Botte
A unique hike off the beaten track, featuring an ascent of La Botte (2,248 m), a descent along undulating ridges to Lac de l’Infernet, and a circumnavigation of the pass of the same name across wide, sloping meadows. The route then joins the classic trail to Lac Achard. Stunning views throughout the hike. Please note: see the ‘Practical Information’ section.
Chamrousse - Refuge de la Pra
Well known to Grenoble residents, this hike offers superb views of all the surrounding mountains, including Chartreuse, Vercors, Grandes Rousses, Taillefer and Belledonne. As soon as you arrive at the top of the cable car, your gaze is drawn to La Meije, which looks so close.⚠️ This hike can only be done on foot from 30 June to 1 October ⚠️
Eybens - Vizille
A special hike organised as part of both the Grenoble-Vizille half marathon and the hike itself.
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.
Lac du Vallon - Le Bourg-d'Oisans
The last stage begins at the large Vallon Lake. You will then cross the Col du Rochail, which rises to an altitude of 2,756 metres. After this climb, your path will take you to the Refuge des Sources, then to Villard-Notre-Dame, a village offering a superb view of Bourg-d'Oisans, your final destination.
La Pra Mountain Hut – Jean Collet Mountain Hut
A very beautiful hike, partly off the beaten track for the section between the Pra and Jean Collet mountain huts. Please note that this is an alternative route to theGR® 738, which passes via Lac du Crozet, Lac du Loup and the small pass of La Sitre.
Refuge de la Pra – Refuge Jean Collet
A challenging day’s hike connecting two iconic mountain huts in the Belledone massif. Chamois, moraines and lakes will punctuate the route.
Roybon Hut – La Peyrouse Hut
Day2 of a traverse of the Vercors via the balcony path.
Pic Saint-Michel via the Vertige des Cimes
A very classic route that takes you to four remarkable viewpoints in succession, offering views of Grenoble and its valley, as well as the Vercors plateau, the Rocher de l’Ours and the Roc Cornafion. It’s a hike you should do at least once if you’re in the area.
Ideally, you should take two cars up and leave one at the finish, which is at the Parking des Barnets, two hairpin bends below the start point at the Lans-en-Vercors resort.
