Course without technical difficulties but with a mileage and an elevation for experienced trailers.
Julia Combe, in charge of communications for the On Piste application at Rossignol and a resident of Pays Voironnais, appreciates the numerous (and varied) trail routes offered in the region.
Julia: "My favorite is the Valdaine area with the Baracuchet route no. 22. A quiet area, less well-known but ideal for trail running with hilly terrain and a beautiful alternation of passages in the undergrowth and viewpoints over the Chartreuse.
I particularly like the spots of Lake St Sixte and the Chartreux pond for their sometimes mystical atmosphere, but also those of the Grands Bois, from the Grand Vivier to the Col du Bret up to below Mont Baracuchet."
A course that begins gently to warm up along the mill canal, before tackling the climb to Lake Saint-Sixte. Then the loop around Mount Baracuchet takes you to the Carthusian pond. Then you descend to the village of Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine.
