ROUTE

From the car park, take the small tarmac road up towards the houses, which then becomes a footpath. At Le Ruty, follow the D40 for 40m. Continue towards Chemin d'Avaux, the scenery is particularly open, with lovely views of the Mont du Chat and L'Epine.

Next, join a wide path surrounded by meadows and small woods that leads to the Guiers stream. Continue towards the chapel of Saint-Hilaire, a listed historic monument.

The hamlet of Les Teppes features features some typically Dauphinois buildings, with adobe walls and gable roofs with pebbled tiles.

Once you reach Le Boutet, take a section of the GR65® route to Santiago de Compostela and head to Bois du Fayet. The route is fairly shaded and once again offers a number of views of the surrounding mountains. Beware of the 200m stretch of the D40 on the return journey.
