Walking

At the beginning of the Alps was the Jusson mountain pasture… located below the Grande Sure (1 m), it is one of the very first mountain pastures in the massif, visible from afar when coming from Lyon!

The route is typical of the massif: vast forests, steep paths, and rocky escarpments requiring a certain amount of vigilance. Arriving at the meadow will be a wonderful reward for enjoying the serenity of the place.

Tips and Suggestions: 
We love the mythical forest of the Grande Chartreuse! A mysterious atmosphere, rich biodiversity, with rare species like the Lady's Slipper Orchid or the Chartreux Vulnerary, and its abundant alpine fauna, not to mention the Bois de Chartreuse AOC, the first AOC for wood in France, which promotes an entire local wood construction sector!
