A very beautiful hike, difficult due to the elevation gain on the way there and back, which leaves no time to rest and leads to a fabulous lake.

Departure from Saint-Mury-Monteymond (Isère)
There are several ‘Rochers de l’Homme’ in Belledonne; the highest, at 2,755 m, is also one of the least visited. Like all the prominent peaks in the range, it offers an exceptional panorama stretching from Mont Blanc to the Écrins and from the Chartreuse to the Cerces, with the added bonus of a spectacular view of the west face of the Grand Pic.
This off-trail hike between Lac Blanc and the Combe de la Pierre requires sure-footedness to climb the southern ridge of the Rocher de l’Homme. Watch out for ibex.

Departure from Saint-Mury-Monteymond (Isère)
A magnificent hike to the Croix de Belledonne, passing the Boulon waterfalls, Lac Blanc, the Grande Pente snowfield, Lac du Grand Doméon, Lac du Petit Doméon and Lac du Crozet. Incredible scenery, with the chance to spot ibex, chamois and marmots. But please be aware: as the route involves crossing two snowfields, the use of crampons is strongly recommended given the steepness of the slopes.
