                 The Coulou Pass, the Pas du Curé and the Pas de la Corne
                The Coulou Pass, the Pas du Curé and the Pas de la Corne            
            
         
        
        
                A short loop offering a pretty passage through the Défilé du Coulou gorge to reach the Pas du Curé before descending to the Engins dam and then, following the Furon river, reaching the Pas de la Corne climb via theGR®9.
Please note that there are some fairly technical sections in the Coulou Pass, with and without handrails. Please take great care
 It is not possible to complete the loop; see the notices            
            
            
    
                 Le Moucherotte starting from Saint-Nizier
                Le Moucherotte starting from Saint-Nizier            
            
         
        
        
                Here is another route for climbing Moucherotte, a little more challenging than the one starting from Lans-en-Vercors. The elevation gain is a little greater and the mountain trail requires good footwear. The 360° panorama is just as sublime and the view over the Grenoble basin is just as impressive.            
            
            
    
                 Le Moucherotte via Saint-Nizier
                Le Moucherotte via Saint-Nizier            
            
         
        
        
                Climbing the Moucherotte via the east face from Saint-Nizier is a wild and little-known route. The return via the large ski jump (on foot, fortunately) is also unusual.
Yellow and green markings, as well as white/red.

                Climb up to the magnificent Moucherotte viewpoint by taking a circular route up the wild Pas de la Bergère and back down the 'normal' route to Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte.            
            
            
    
                 The Dent du Loup and the Sornin-Molière Plateau from Le Fournel
                The Dent du Loup and the Sornin-Molière Plateau from Le Fournel            
            
         
        
        
                Among the many possible combinations on the Plateau de Sornin, this circular route allows you to go around it and soak up this area of the Vercors, while also taking in sites offering unobstructed views. The route is accessible in almost all seasons, with snowshoes if there is heavy snowfall.

                This beautiful hike on the Sornin plateau allows you to visit the large pylon overlooking the Isère valley at a place called La Dent du Loup.

                The Lodge de la Molière            
            
        
                This route is classified as a long walk, but it is a mini-circular that allows you to relax pleasantly in the mountain pasture surrounding the Molière lodge.            
            
            
    
                 Loop along the ridges via Charande
                Loop along the ridges via Charande            
            
        
                Ridge walk from Pas de Bellecombe to La Molière via the highest point of Charande. Numerous viewpoints over the Alps and the Chartreuse.

                The Bruyant Gorges and the Pas de la Bergère            
            
         
        
        
                Bucolic walk along the Bruyant, at the bottom of the gorges, before reaching the Moucherotte ridges via the Pas de la Bergère, which can be difficult in wet weather.
Do this in this direction as the descent via the Pas de la Bergère can be difficult or even dangerous after rain.
300 m below the Cabane des Ramées (south), a path on the left in a meadow (cairn) leads to the Trou St Michel, a cave that emerges from the cliff (incorrectly located on the map)

                Short hike in the Bruyant Gorges, with a beautiful view of the Furon Gorges at the Bec de l'Aigle.

                The perfect family walk: easy, fun, with trails that all lead to the same place, Pré Faure.
This circuit is unique in that it passes through the "Désert Jean-Jacques Rousseau", worthy of the greatest romantics, climbs up to the Ferme Froussard, a historic site linked to the Resistance, and returns via a viewpoint offering a superb view of Grenoble and its valley.
More challenging access from the town of Fontaine via the "Coup de Sabre"

                This hike, which runs alongside the Furon and the Bruyant Gorges, will refresh you and take you to the Bec de l'Aigle viewpoint, where you can enjoy a remarkable view.

                A short family walk offering excellent views for the effort. Best done on a day with good visibility.
Please note: a hiker has informed us that in summer, at weekends, access to the plateau is restricted: you must take a shuttle bus (or a chairlift, which is quite far away).

                In Vercors, discover sharp limestone pavements, wildlife and flora. Hike from La Molière towards the east via Le Sornin (medium mountain range).

                This is a short, easy hike on the outskirts of Grenoble, accessible by TAG bus, which will give you a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding mountains.

                Walk through the Furon Gorges leading to the top of the village, where restaurants once welcomed Grenoble residents seeking coolness on Sundays. This short walk is very popular in hot weather, as the Furon area remains cool.            
            
            
    
                 Le Grand Cheval via the Pas de la Tinette and the Vertige des Cimes
                Le Grand Cheval via the Pas de la Tinette and the Vertige des Cimes            
            
         
        
        
                Created in 2014, the spectacular "Vertige des Cimes" footbridge has become one of the most popular destinations in the Vercors massif. It offers a superb view of the Grenoble basin and the surrounding mountains, but pushing on to the open summit of the Grand Cheval adds a little extra wildness to this hike.            
            
            
    
                 The Peuil peat bog via Savoyères
                The Peuil peat bog via Savoyères            
            
         
        
        
                This circuit has the advantage of being able to be interrupted at any time for a shorter return. It can also be the starting point for a long hike to Le Moucherotte to the north or the Col de l'Arc to the south. Finally, for very young children, there is a short round trip to the peat bog, a unique feature in this area. The views of the other mountains are only possible from the peat bog, as the rest of the hike is in the woods until Savoyères.

                Promenade des Batteries via Château de Sassenage - Le Furon            
            
         
        
        
                A well-known local walk, presenting no difficulty. It takes you to the heights of Sassenage, as well as some pleasant neighbourhoods and the village centre. The "Batteries" are a defensive structure from the "iron belt" of the late 19th century: several battery emplacements, now empty of their artillery pieces. Find out about their former function.
