This hike can be enjoyed in any season to discover the Vizillois landscape, the Romanche valley and the surrounding mountains. Very easy with a reasonable elevation gain, it is accessible to most people.

Route via the hamlets of Monjean, Chachatier and Vaulnaveys. Pleasant scenery and the chance to discover old mountain hamlets.

The downside of the walk is a bit (too much) of a tarmac surface. Not recommended for those with allergies.

A lovely walk in peaceful surroundings, ideal for families. Tracks, paths, trails and tarmac combine in the shade of the woodland for most of the route, where you won’t find the crowds.
