Voreppe walks

Pleasant circular route starting from Voreppe, which passes through Pommiers-la-Placette and the Col de Tençon at the foot of the Rochebrune summit.

This circular route starts at the La Rigonnière outdoor activity centre in Voreppe and goes around Rochebrune, the highest point of the Grand Ratz, the southernmost link in the Jura mountain range. Although the altitude remains modest, the hike covers a significant elevation gain and distance. The landscapes are very varied and change throughout the route, with views of the surrounding mountains: Chartreuse, Vercors, the hills of Bas Dauphiné, as well as the Isère valley and the Grenoble metropolitan area.

A lovely but fairly strenuous hike. Return via the same route.

A route to the Aiguille and the Monastère de Chalais. A relentless climb with a steep, slippery and exposed access ramp to the south ridge.

The hike to the Lorzier rocks via the Charminelle ladders takes us on an adventure along an original route combining slightly dizzying passages through chimneys or on century-old ladders once used by hunters. Several viewpoints offer beautiful panoramic views, particularly at the top of the Lorzier rocks and at the Col des Banettes.

This low-altitude loop takes you up an old passage equipped with ladders by hunters, before crossing the formidable Roize and returning via Chalais and its monastery.

A family-friendly circuit starting from Chalais Monastery and ending at the eponymous Aiguille.

This is a loop south of the Chartreuse, at a modest altitude. It starts at Chalais Monastery, climbs up the cable-assisted passageway of the chimney, then heads towards the small village of Mont-Saint-Martin and returns via the Cuchet route. Traditional yellow directional signs indicate the distance to be covered and the time needed to reach the destinations concerned.

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!

Route in the forest above the village of Veurey-Voroize.

A circular route on wide paths that allows you to delve into the history of millstones.

A fun hike bordering on mountaineering on a very little-used route leading to the Rocher de Chalves via its southern ridge. You will discover the Ouillon, a monolith clearly visible at the foot of the ridge, before climbing an easy rock face (never exceeding 3c) along the ridge. Caution: there is a sheer drop below the ridge, so you must proceed slowly and test each hold carefully, as some boulders are ready to tumble down.

A beautiful loop around the Grand Ratz, passing by the Roche Brune viewpoint with its breathtaking view of the Isère valley.

Randonnée en huit partant des Trois Fontaines, un lieu baigné de fraicheur où il fait bon s'attarder en plein été.Le sentier commence dans la forêt en s'élevant dans une rude pente par de nombreux lacets. Il franchit des gradins rocheux pour rejoindre une bergerie d'alpage, le Chalet de Jusson. En haut de la prairie se présente la Cheminée de Jusson qui s'escalade sans difficulté pour parvenir au sommet et profiter d'un magnifique panorama. Descendre la crête et une partie du vallon de l'Hérétang puis remonter la Combe des Veaux pour retrouver le Chalet de Jusson. La descente par le Pas des Rochers de Pierre Taillée s'effectuant sur une sente en déshérence puis dans la forêt pour retrouver le parking conviendra aux randonneurs en quête de lieu secret. GPS ou application Visorando recommandé.Ce parcours s'adresse à des randonneurs bien préparés physiquement.

This low peak and its twin opposite on the Vercors side, the Dent de Moirans, watch over the exit of the Isère as it flows quietly towards the Rhône and the entrance of rain and snow clouds pushed by the north winds. A remarkable viewpoint over the valleys, it is an ideal half-day walk.
