Saint-Mury-Monteymond walks

This is a rather wild hike in Belledonne that requires a good sense of direction. With the exception of the lower part, the markings, when they exist, are quite varied, with a few yellow marks, orange lines, blue dots and, above all, numerous cairns of all sizes. There aretwo cable passages at (10).

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).

This hike in the Belledonne massif is a version of route no. 44130540, entitled "Le Col de la Mine de Fer et le Lac de Crop en boucle, à partir de Pré Marcel" (The Iron Mine Pass and Lake Crop loop, starting from Pré Marcel), which avoids the passage through the Bois de la Croix Blanche, where the abandoned trail, resembling an adventure course, may put some people off. This loop, starting from Pré Marcel, although shorter, covers the mountain levels, passing from forest to alpine meadows and high-altitude mineral levels, not to mention the magnificent Lac de Crop. 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 descending its glacial barrier, go around Montagne de Barlet to find the uphill trail and return to the Pré Marcel car park.

This is a beautiful hike in the Belledonne Massif, where you can admire beautiful waterfalls, explore a wild valley and get close to the last glacier in the massif. The view from the refuge overlooks the Grésivaudan valley, from the Chartreuse massif to the Vercors massif.

Lac Blanc is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful lakes in the Belledonne massif with its turquoise colour. This hike offers the best of Belledonne: forests, torrents, scree slopes, mountain pastures and mineral landscapes. The beauty of the landscapes along the route makes up for the somewhat strenuous climb.

A very beautiful hike, difficult due to the elevation gain on the way there and back, which leaves no time to rest and leads to a fabulous lake.

A magnificent hike combining forest and low mountains, flora and fauna.

This is a beautiful hike that climbs to Pointe de la Sitre and makes a detour to the lake of the same name. There you will find a magnificent view of the Grésivaudan valley and the Grand Pic de Belledonne. This hike is not particularly difficult, except perhaps for the slopes, which can be steep in places.

An ideal walk for mid-season and for exploring Belledonne from a moderate altitude.

Circular of the three lakes of Crozet, Loup and Grande Sitre from Saint-Mury-Monteymond on the north-western balcony of the Grande Lance de Domène in the Belledonne Massif.

A circuit and ascent to Belledonne’s finest viewpoint, amidst the ibex. Climbing the Grande Lance de Domène is straightforward, but the return via the Col des Lances requires an ice axe and crampons in all seasons, and the very steep scree on the north face invariably turns the hiker into a left-turning dahu. Between the Col des Lances and Lac du Loup, the Glacier de la Sitre and its lake form one of the wildest landscapes in the range, where you may encounter eagles and chamois.

This is a very wild hike, half of which takes place in valleys completely off the beaten track, exploring the playground of the chamois, mouflons and ibex that abound in Belledonne. The lakes of Bâton and Bœuf, nestled in the rounded rocks opposite the peaks of Oisans, are the highlights of the hike.

A pretty lake in a rocky landscape, overlooking the Grésivaudan valley. From the lake, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Chartreuse mountains.

A stunning hike that allows you to discover two gems of the Belledonne massif that are almost never visited: the Lac du Bois and Lac du Bœuf are little jewels off the beaten track of the massif. The Pic du Grand Domènon, the highest point of the walk, is a magnificent viewpoint that is much less visited than the Croix de Belledonne, offering views of the Bauges, Mont Blanc, the Grandes Rousses, the Oisans, the Dévoluy, the Taillefer, the Vercors and the Chartreuse and, of course, Belledonne and its lakes. Please note: this hike is on the borderline between very difficult and extremely difficult.

A lovely snowshoe walk in Belledonne with no major difficulties, a steady climb up to the hut through pretty forests.

Hiking with lakes and streams in the Belledonne mountains, parking thirty minutes from Grenoble.Important note: please take into account the opinions of hikers on this outing. These opinions can be found at the bottom of the page in the Comments and Discussions section.

This hike takes you on a loop around Lake Crozet, covering several types of terrain (scree, a mountain pass, forest, lakes). It does not present any significant technical difficulties (climbing, exposed passages), but there are some sections in full sun and a few steep slopes.

Assez fréquentée, la randonnée au Grand Colon se prolonge habituellement par la descente sur le charmant Lac Merlat, pour rejoindre le refuge et le Col de la Pra, puis par le Vallon Mercier, le Lac Crozet. Le parcours, ici proposé, est une alternative moins belle, mais plus secrète, présentant un raccourci à cette descente classique. Du Grand Colon un sentier longe une éminence rocheuse, légèrement plus haute (cote 2402), située au Nord-Est, puis passe un col pour descendre un pierrier encaissé, entre La Roche Fendue et le Galeteau, avant de retrouver le Vallon Mercier et le Lac Crozet.

An easy walk, mostly on a path. The hike can be done on foot or by bike. You can start much lower down in Revel, either from the village or from an intermediate point.

The second stage of this Tour du Grand Replomb takes you through a rocky landscape with a steep descent towards Lac de Crop.

A short hike with beautiful views of the Chartreuse, Vercors and Belledonne mountains, starting from the church in Revel and alternating between forest trails and hamlets. Best done in the afternoon or evening to avoid being dazzled by the morning sun on Belledonne.
