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.

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.

Higher up, you will see all the mountains surrounding Grenoble and its region.
