Lovely route in Le Revard. I recommend stopping at the farm along the way, where the cheese is delicious!

A varied and enjoyable route completed on a hot day. The shaded sections were much appreciated. We followed the trail without difficulty. Thank you for this lovely discovery.

Hello,
hike completed today. The paths and landscapes are very repetitive, which becomes tedious. The view from the Croix des Bergers is splendid, with a clear panorama of Mont Blanc on the way back as a bonus. However, in our opinion, the Belvédère de la Tourbière de Creusates is of little interest.
The lack of signposting is a shame, as it means you have to keep your eyes on your phone to stay on the right track.
Thank you for the hike and enjoy your walk, everyone!

Hike done outside of school holidays, so not many people. With snowshoes for me and crampons for my partner, it was a very pleasant hike with beautiful views of Les Bauges and Mont Blanc.
stunning 360° panoramic views at the Croix des Bergers.
Thanks to the author for this hike!

Hello, everyone.
This route was originally intended to be done on snowshoes, but due to the lack of snow (melting and rain) and severe frost, it was done with light crampons, which are essential on icy slopes.
The route description is good, but in some areas, between the Tipis and the Chalets de Sale, it is easy to lose the GR if you do not keep your eyes glued to the app. (Signposting).
Part of the return journey was along the cross-country trail between Sale and Croix des Bergers (1,370 m), with a beautiful 360° panorama.
On the day of the outing, on the way back, there were lots of people snowshoeing between Croix des Bergers and Crolles, and several buses in the car park on our return. It is necessary to set off early enough to be "almost alone" on part of the route between Tipi and Sale.

Superb hike with varied landscapes. However, it is very poorly signposted, and even with the route details, it was difficult to find our way at times. Fortunately, we were able to use the interactive map to help us.

A superb, easy hike for children.
Be sure to make a little detour to the Plate refuge. You will receive a warm welcome and can enjoy lunch or a snack.
Currently open on weekends.
We took a nice break before setting off again.
Time overestimated.

A route we love to do regularly, especially during the dry season.
The descent to the Clusaz chalet is not very clear, especially when the grass is tall, but it is easy to find your way back to the path with the VR tracks. The climb through meadows and forest is very pleasant but not always well marked, with signposts corroded by humidity. We pushed on to the Plate chalet, which is of no interest as it is now closed.
Return via the Creusates bog and picnic at the shepherds' cross.
To return to the starting point, I recommend turning right 250 metres after the Gralette chalets to take the beautiful little path that runs along the left-hand side of the milking parlour on the right and continues through the woods until it joins the return path.

hello,
For a hiker who is unfamiliar with the area, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find the car park at the start of the hike, as Montcel, the village given as the starting point, is several kilometres away from the car park. It would be a good idea to provide more details.
it is a very pleasant hike, quite popular in the bog area.
