Le Col de la Vache depuis le parking du Muret
Agréable randonnée dans le magnifique massif de Belledonne. Le sentier commence par s'élever en direction du ravissant refuge du Habert d'Aiguebelle. Arrivé à proximité, il gravit le Pas de la Coche, passe au-dessus du mignon lac éponyme, puis traverse un champ de myrtilliers. Il passe le flanc des Roches Jaunes, rejoint le GR®738 et traverse des alpages. En longeant les falaises de la Crête des Îlettes, le col apparaît dans un décor minéral et s'atteint, après un raide pierrier, avec, comme récompense, une magnifique vue sur le Lac du Cos et les cimes du massif d'Allervard.
Muret loop via Lac de la Coche, Le Ferrouillet, Lac de Crop
This magnificent circular hike begins with the fairly busy route from the Muret car park to the delightful Lac de la Coche.

It passes under the Pointes du Sifflet, karstic cave de la Scia and Ferrouillet peaks, offering magnificent views of the Olle Valley and the eastern face of the Grand Pic de Belledonne. In a high-mountain mineral landscape, the trail crosses the Col de la Brèche Fendue to reach the Col de la Mine de Fer. Leaving the GR®, it descends towards the superb and popular Lac de Crop, then descends its lock and crosses the forest.
