JL. Rigaux

A loop to admire one of the most beautiful points of view on Grenoble and discover the fort, perched at 1338m, built between
1873 and 1879 to protect the city from aggression since the
valley as from the mountain - yet it has never been used!

Step by step description : (1) From the parking lot, you can reach the Croix du Rocher, which marks the start of the GR9 towards the Fort du Saint-Eynard. The marked trail (red and white) crosses a small torrent and then reaches the acrobatic park, where a path joins the downhill ski slopes. The ascent to the ridge is via these pistes. The GR leaves the piste and branches off to the left just before climbing the ridge. (2) End of difficulties: the rest of the route is relatively flat and straight. Past the Pas Guiguet, you reach the old batteries and then the fort. For the best view of Grenoble, continue on the GR around the ditch and up to a platform offering an unobstructed panorama (3). (4) To make a loop towards Le Sappey, return to the end of the old batteries and mark the start of the yellow-marked path, which descends through the woods, crossing the road several times and leading back to the hamlet of Pillonières. From here, the path leads to La Faurie and then back to the Parc Acrobatique.
