La Grande Chartreuse, the Great Charterhouse, is the mother monastery of the Carthusian Order. It is an impressive and unique facility. It cannot be visited, but you can walk around it. Definitely worth it. The film "The Great Silence" was filmed here. There is a museum further down the valley.

haven of peace after 1km exhausting at 13%. Silence invades you in the Carthusian Desert.
The cirque of cliffs with the great Som culminating point is a jewel which surrounds the jewel of the monastery
SILENCE AND RESPECT for the perfection of this magical place.
