2h 45
Moderate
Departure from Proveysieux (Isère)
A pleasant circular through the woods of the commune of Proveyzieux leading to the Belvédère du Sialet, which offers a bird's-eye view of the Isère valley. Hikers will be happy to discover the large shopping area of Saint-Égrève, where many of them stock up on supplies.
The Aiguille de Quaix

3h 00
Moderate
Departure from Quaix-en-Chartreuse (Isère)
Ascent of the Aiguille de Quaix from the hamlet of La Jars in Quaix en Chartreuse: a fairly shaded forest route offering magnificent views of the Isère valley from the Aiguille de Quaix.
The ascent of the Aiguille de Quaix requires a climb that can be difficult with heavy boots or for people who are prone to vertigo. However, the view at the foot of the peak, without climbing, is still worth the effort. The hike remains very interesting.

Very difficult
Departure from Quaix-en-Chartreuse (Isère)
An original alternative to the usual route up to La Pinéa from the Col de Porte, mainly through woodland and very little used. An ideal hike in summer thanks to the coolness of the forest. The 360° view from the summit of La Pinéa is magnificent, taking in the Chartreuse, Belledonne and the Vercors.

-3,612 ft
5 hrs
Extremely difficult
Departure from Mont-Saint-Martin (Isère) (Isère)
A fun hike bordering on mountaineering on a very little-used route leading to the Rocher de Chalves via its southern ridge. You will discover the Ouillon, a monolith clearly visible at the foot of the ridge, before climbing an easy rock face (never exceeding 3c) along the ridge.
Caution: there is a sheer drop below the ridge, so you must proceed slowly and test each hold carefully, as some boulders are ready to tumble down.

Moderate
Departure from Saint-Égrève (Isère)
A short, challenging and perfect walk starting from La Monta, passing through the splendid Bellevue meadow—which certainly lives up to its name—then heading towards Le Sialet, to finish at the highest point of a superb wild meadow.

As beautiful as a painting by Jean Achard! And just a stone’s throw from the town...
