Step by step description : Starting from the La Ruche à Gîter lodge, take the path on the right that leads into the forest. At the intersection with a forest track, continue left, staying on the same wide path. At each junction, you will find the green trail markers No. 21 to guide you along the forest track. At the PDIPR Forêt du Quartier signpost, turn right towards the Belvédère des Riondettes, where you can enjoy a stunning view of the Guiers Valley at your feet. To continue, facing the valley, take the small path along the ridge to your left. On this relatively steep trail, feel free to walk if needed. At the PDIPR Col de la Sariette signpost, turn left onto a wilder, rockier section of the trail. At the next intersection with a new forest track, continue left and then straight ahead to explore the Riondettes and its meadow, used as cross-country skiing tracks in winter. A short stretch on the road brings you to the PDIPR Les Riondettes signpost, where you will follow the Centre Nordique direction to the right. You will follow the stream for a few kilometers before crossing the Pré de la Morte meadow, taking a wider track to the left. At the next signpost with an arrow, turn right onto a trail that will lead you to the PDIPR Le Cerney signpost, where you will turn left, still heading towards the Centre Nordique. At the Alt 1280 signpost, follow the direction towards the Centre Nordique, which you will soon reach.
