シャパレイヤンの絶景の山頂・トップ13

モンブランとシャルトルーズの眺め

Caution: This section involves a semi-stop and traverse along a cliff face without a handrail. Not recommended for people prone to vertigo or for children.

Magnificent view of the heart of the Chartreuse region, the plain of St. Laurent du Pont, and Mont Blanc in the background, seemingly within arm's reach. The access path via the ridge that connects to Outheran is very straightforward. The climb from St. Jean de Couz on the SW side is quite complicated. The path is barely visible and rather difficult to follow on a very steep face. The final section leads up a very steep couloir, through a slippery and unstable scree slope. Furthermore, the exposure to falling rocks is quite significant; extreme caution is required (helmet recommended). The final section consists of short climbing sections and very steep ascents in fairly exposed grassy terrain (fairly straightforward, but exposed).

The cross of the Aulp du seuil is located at 1825m above the cirque and marks the entrance to the high plateaus.

The viewpoint is in the forest, and the view is not clear at all, only the Granier is visible in a small gap between the leaves.

Great hike! Make sure you have good shoes with crampons because some slopes are a bit slippery. Magnificent view at the top.

Done today, lots of snow at the top, the climbing sections are dry and the descent too

on private property, with no-entry signs, especially at hunting time
