Departure from Notre-Dame-de-Mésage (Isère)
A lovely walk through the woodland, with no particular difficulties, where you won’t be overwhelmed by too many other walkers.
Its appeal lies simply in following a route sheltered from the intense heat, without seeking ‘breathtaking views’ of ‘unforgettable sites’, nor any ‘picturesque scenery’ or ‘monuments’.
Do be careful, however, right at the start of the walk, where you’ll face an average gradient of over 20 per cent for the first 1,500 metres...
