one hour walk (round trip) from the village, in the woods, occasionally passing a meadow or a clearing.

As you travel to the Grenant stream above La Bridoire, you will discover a hidden stream that winds through a lush and tranquil forest in the heart of the Chartreuse mountains. The area around the stream is teeming with wildlife and you will often see birds and other woodland creatures. As you listen to the soothing sound of flowing water, let your mind escape into nature.

Large waterfall on the ascent of Mont Grelle or Beauvoir

Switched to Gravel at the end of April 2024. Possible but not ideal. The view is sublime. The place is rich in history. A portage is necessary as there is a section with stairs.

Lake Aiguebelette is a natural lake located in France in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Main lake of the Savoyard Avant-Pays, in the southern end of the Jura massif, it is located approximately 10 kilometers from Chambéry, approximately 40 kilometers from Grenoble and approximately 100 kilometers from Lyon. It has an area of 545 hectares and is as such the seventh natural French lake after Lake Geneva (in part), Lake Hourtin and Carcans, Lake Grand-Lieu, Lake Bourget, Lake Annecy and Lake Marville (at Kerguelen). Bordered to the east by the Épine chain which culminates with Mont Grelle at 1,427 meters and to the west by Mont Tournier, its maximum depth is 71 meters. At first glance, it is characterized by its often green color, whereas, in the same region, Lake Annecy is bluer and Lake Bourget is more often steel gray. Lake Aiguebelette is a private lake which belongs to the Rivérieulx de Chambost de Lépin family and Électrcité de France, who have entrusted its management to the Communauté de Communes du Lac d'Aiguebelette. Its banks are shared between five riverside municipalities: Aiguebelette-le-Lac, Lépin-le-Lac, Saint-Alban-de-Montbel, Novalaise and Nances. In the southern part of the lake there are two islands, surrounded by reed beds. In order to preserve the quality of its waters and its environment, thermal motor boats have been prohibited on the lake since a decree of 1967. It has also been the first regional freshwater nature reserve in France since March 2015. Source: Wikipedia

Magnificent lake in a mountain atmosphere, with a pretty road that goes around it, partly away from traffic. Do it clockwise.

The Lac d'Aiguebelette is an essential place in the summer season. The road around the lake offers an easy ride that allows you to enjoy views of the mountains and the lake. There are a number of side roads and trails that will take you to the water's edge, as well as plenty of places to stop and cool off.

Superb waterfalls nestled in the woods, an ideal place to cool off and fill up with water during a hike or even during a day trip!
