Description of the walk

Park at Place Victor Jat in Noyarey.

(S/E) Set off to the left onto Chemin Hebert. At the junction with Rue du 19 mars 1962, make a zigzag turn. Stay on the road opposite to reach the junction of two paths.

(1) Turn right; further on, you’ll rejoin the Route d’Ezy. Take it to the left and quickly turn left off it (signposted ‘Ezy’) to join the wide path. Stay on this path, passing under the power lines. Continue generally westwards to reach the wide track leading to Carron.

(2) Turn left onto it. A gentle climb takes you to the junction at Ferme du Poyet.

(3) Leave the track and head left down a steep descent. You’ll reach a crossroads. Leave the track on your left (no entry sign). Carry on to the right. Pass under the power lines again. Carry on, ignoring the tracks marked with ‘No Entry’ signs. At a hairpin bend, join the track and take the one opposite. Pass through the Ferme du Poyet. Shortly afterwards, you’ll reach another crossroads.

(4) Leave the track leading to Noyarey Town Hall on your right. Take the one on the left. Begin another descent to reach the original junction.

(1) Follow the same route as on the way out to return to the car park at Place Victor Jat (S/E).

Notes

For this route, the markings are yellow but are not mentioned in the description as they are very faint. There are also a good number of Red Circles marking the route of the annual trail race known as ‘La Montée d’Ezy’.

Between (1) and: The path is in a particularly poor state and does not allow for easy progress.

Worth a visit

Beautiful views over the Isère valley, particularly the famous ‘Y’ formed by the confluence of the Drac on the right and the Isère on the left.

Circular loop of 2 hours. The steep, continuous climb is perfect for getting your legs moving in the spring... The first part of the descent is pleasant, with views of the mountain ranges.

This hike is classified as moderately difficult. Even though it's short, I think it should be classified as difficult because when you climb 400 metres in 2 kilometres, for me that's difficult. That's a 20% gradient over 2 kilometres, without any breaks, right at the start of the route. I can't imagine the members of my walking group being able to manage the climb. It's true that the rest of the walk is very easy, as all the elevation gain is in the first 2 kilometres.

The walking time is greatly overestimated. Allow a maximum of 2 hours, even if you’re not in great shape.
The paths are a bit stony. High-top shoes are more highly recommended than ever.

↔9.52 mi ↗+3,960 ft ↘-3,947 ft ◔7 hrs ▲Extremely difficult
⚑Departure from Noyarey (Isère)
A physically demanding and challenging circular route just a few minutes from Grenoble. After climbing the Draye des Communaux, the route passes through the magnificent interlacing of sharp limestone pavement at the Gouffre Berger, then leads to the summit of La Sure, where the view of Mont Blanc, the Chartreuse, Belledonne and Grenoble is as striking as the sheer drop below the cliff. We then head towards La Buffe (optional) and return via the (disused) Mortier tunnel. Only to be attempted in very dry weather!

This hike takes you to the Belvédère de l'Échaillon, the northern tip of the Vercors, with its beautiful views of the Voreppe gorge, southern Grésivaudan, the Voiron region and the Isère valley. The Saint-Ours Chapel, built into the cliffside with a single large opening above the void, offers an impressive bird's-eye view of the Isère!

⚑Departure from Autrans (Isère)
A pleasant, safe walk, 80 per cent in the shade, taking in numerous vantage points, particularly at La Sure (views over the Grenoble-Voiron valley) and at the summit of La Buffe (360° views), as well as at various points along the way. Updated 27/05/2022:- Added a circular loop around La Sure.- Added the location of the ‘wasp’s hole’.

Walking Tour de Malsouche (Trail No. 10 of the "Sentiers de Chartreuse Occidentale")

Association / Club / Walk leader
↔6.03 mi ↗+2,326 ft ↘-2,326 ft ◔4h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Voreppe (Isère)
This walk showcases the contrasting character of our landscape: southern slopes once terraced for vineyards, tall beech forests, the site of Chalais Monastery and the wild little valley of Malsouche. On the way down, you’ll take an old path leading to Chalais. It leads you to Voreppe’s industrial past, represented by the cement quarries. Trail No. 10 of the Western Chartreuse Trails. This trail presents risks typical of mountain and forest trails (falling branches, falling trees, falling rocks along the cliffs).

↔10.02 mi ↗+3,196 ft ↘-3,215 ft ◔7h 25 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Voreppe (Isère)
A lovely, fairly long circular route with the Chalais Monastery—which overlooks the town of Voreppe—as your destination; this is a slightly more challenging alternative to the usual drive up the road to the monastery. The views from the Aiguille de Chalais and the Rocher de Bellevue are breathtaking!
