Expert's word

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 n°52. A quiet area, less known but ideal for trail running with hilly terrain and a beautiful alternation of passages through the woods and views of the Chartreuse mountains.
I particularly like the spots around Lake St Sixte and the Chartreux pond for their sometimes mystical atmosphere, but also those in the Grands Bois forest, from Grand Vivier to the Col du Bret pass, all the way to below Mont Baracuchet.
