Departure from Autrans (Isère)
From the hamlet of Le Truc at the north-eastern entrance to the village of Autrans, you can access La Molière mountain and discover the Isère valley and the city of Grenoble through a gap in the mountain. Higher up, you will see all the mountains surrounding Grenoble and its region. Don't look for the "pas" (step) of the bear as a paw print because, here as is often the case in the mountains, "pas" is a diminutive of "passage" (passage).

This is a pleasant route with no real difficulties, apart from the distance and a few steep sections in thefirst third.
Once you reach the ridges (take care if you have young children), you will walk constantly above the plateau with a magnificent view of Grenoble, as well as the Trois Pucelles, Moucherotte, Pic Saint-Michel and Roc Cornafion.
