Escapade en Chartreuse

fr

Cette escapade consiste par la traversée de la Plagne (hameau à proximité du Col du Granier à la Dent de Crolles en Aller Retour.
C'est une entreprise qui demande outre les qualités physiques une certaine expérience et un matériel adapté car on est seul loin de tout et certains passages peuvent être dangereux.
L'été c'est sans problème (mis à part l'eau) et je vous recommande cette traversée qui peut se faire en partie ou en partant d'autres points de départ, mais c'est une autre histoire.

You are advised to alter your route. A rockfall has occurred at the Dent de Crolles. It is no longer possible to use the path via the Trou du Glaz (5). The area remains particularly dangerous due to the high risk of further rockfall and falling boulders. Following this incident, the municipality of Saint-Pierre de Chartreuse has issued a municipal order to close several hiking trails (for walking, snowshoeing and ski touring). Please let us know if the trails are reopened.
