Petit Replomb walks
Petit and Grand Replomb via Lac de Crop
A wild hike in Belledonne, beneath the rocks of l’Homme and le Ferouillet, skirting well-trodden paths yet staying far enough away to offer unique views of the varied landscape surrounding Lac de Crop.
The vegetation and streams are particularly stunning in autumn, and setting off early in the morning guarantees a chance to spot chamois or ibex.
The Col de la Mine de Fer and Lac de Crop loop from Pré Marcel
A lovely hike in the Belledonne massif, allowing you to appreciate all the mountain levels, from forest to alpine meadows and up to the mineral levels of high altitude. From Pré Marcel, climb to the Refuge Jean Small Pass, then cross the Col de la Mine de Fer. Descend the opposite slope to Lac de Crop, then after a descent into its glacial cirque, reach the car park via a discreet path.There are several ravines and steep passages, some of which are secured by cables, before reaching the Refuge Jean Small Pass (altitude 1,950 m).
Col de la Mine de Fer, Lac de Crop, Pont de la Betta from Pré Marcel
A long circular loop that climbs from Pré Marcel through woodland to the Jean Collet Refuge, before ascending towards the Col de la Mine de Fer amidst a rocky high-mountain landscape. The path switches to the opposite slope, offering magnificent views to the right over the Brèche de Roche Fendue and the Ferrouillet peaks, to the left over the Grand Replomb, and, far below, nestled in the centre of the cirque, the splendid Lac de Crop with its beautiful ultramarine blue waters. After skirting its right bank and passing its narrows, the trail reaches the Pont de la Betta before embarking on a long traverse through the forest, passing in front of the Waterfall des Avoux before returning to the car park. This walk, in the Belledonne massif, is a variation on the circular route ‘Le Col de la Mine de Fer and Lac de Crop’, starting from Pré Marcel.
