Pas du Tracollet walks

Ridge walk from Pas de Bellecombe to La Molière via the highest point of Charande. Numerous viewpoints over the Alps and the Chartreuse.

This is a pleasant route with no real difficulties, apart from the distance and a few steep sections in thefirst third. Once you reach the ridges (take care if you have young children), you will walk constantly above the plateau with a magnificent view of Grenoble, as well as the Trois Pucelles, Moucherotte, Pic Saint-Michel and Roc Cornafion. The return via the plateau is a formality, where a gourmet stop at the refuge is a must.

An invigorating and challenging hike that alternates between woodland and ridge trails with views of both sides of the mountain.

A nice walk which enjoys the shade of the trees for the uphill section. As described the Charande ridge is walked from North to South as this gives better views. The Refuge des Feneys makes for a nice place to stop. This walk descends from Pas de Bellecombe, but you could descend earlier if you wanted to; see notes.
