\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Departure<\/b> \u2013 Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte<\/p>

Cross the village via the main road, then follow the signs for Le Moucherotte. The path quickly enters the forest.<\/p>

Under the Pas de la Berg\u00e8re<\/b><\/p>

The trail winds through the forest. A few clearings already offer superb views of the eastern Vercors.<\/p>

Old ski slope\/disused resort<\/b><\/p>

You will pass close to the remains of the old Moucherotte resort, which closed in the 1970s. It has a special atmosphere, combining nature with memories of the 1968 Olympic Games.<\/p>

Arrival at the summit of Moucherotte (1,901 m)<\/b><\/p>

The arrival on the ridge offers a 360\u00b0 panorama. You can see the city of Grenoble and the Belledonne and Chartreuse mountain ranges, the Vercors plateaus and the Ard\u00e8che mountains in the distance. On a clear day, you can see Mont Blanc on the horizon.<\/p>

Descend via the same route, or make a loop via the Pas de la Berg\u00e8re for a change of scenery (signs on site).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
