Loop

à Voreppe

De la vallée de l’Isère à l’aiguille de Chalais

From Voreppe train station, embark on a challenging hike to the Chalais site, where a magnificent monastery stands, typical of the Carthusian heritage. Shady undergrowth, clearings, and panoramic views of the valley accompany you to the finish.

The route begins with paths mostly along a balcony before climbing more steeply after La Rigonnière.

Accessible without a car, this hike combines train and walking for an ecological, contemplative and authentic discovery of the territory.
