A gentle walk along paths that seem to have been forgotten by everyone, with some lovely surprises. Several circular loops are possible in the area without the risk of getting lost. If you have children, take care: there are sometimes tricky or even dangerous sections, but if you take reasonable care, there is no reason to miss out on this lovely circular loop.

⚑Departure from Saint-Hilaire (Isère) (Isère)
A splendid but little-used circular, starting from Saint-Hilaire du Touvet and passing through the Pas des Terreaux, the Dent de Crolles, the Cheminée du Paradis and the Pas de Rocheplane. Much of the hike is on poorly marked paths on steep slopes. The Cheminée du Paradis is a small climbing step, which explains the level of difficulty. It is possible to extend this hike in a pleasant way, either during the hike itself or nearby.
