Lovely mix of terrain, through farmland and hamlet paths, fields of wild flowers, a mostly shady woodland ascent with a short rocky section towards the end and views that drop off over towards Grenoble. Tempting extension either to gain the summit of Pic Saint-Michel or towards the Auberge des Allieres (beautiful location and amazing food and service - booking recommended).
