    This passage culminates at 1,736 meters above sea level. It is located on a ridge from which you can switch either to the side of the Gresse valley or to the Lans-en-Vercors plateau. It offers a magnificent view of Belledonne, Les Rousses and Les Écrins in the background.

      Nice spot at the foot of the Saint-Michel peak with a beautiful view of Grenoble.

        The descent (or ascent) to Saint-Paul de Varces is very steep (about 25% on average) with a long passage through woods that can be particularly slippery in wet weather.
