ROUTE

The route quickly takes you out of the village. After crossing the D17, you take dirt tracks that you will almost never leave. As far as Mollard des Mottes, the path climbs slightly and offers beautiful views of meadows where cows graze, interspersed with groves.

You then reach the ridges between Montagnieu and Chélieu, with beautiful views of the mountain ranges before you. At Cote 568, an orientation table shows you the panorama of the Chartreuse, the Savoyard foreland and, in the background, the Belledonne massif, Mont Blanc and the Ecrins.

Continue up to Beauregard before turning right to head back towards Montagnieu. There are plenty of woods and cow meadows along the way.
