サンジョゼフドリビエールの天然記念物・トップ20

to do and redo!

Folatière with only 1 "l", sorry... This magnificent block of limestone is perfect for catching your breath and enjoying the scenery. It is not a collapsed block; on the contrary, it belongs to the Urgonian slab that rises higher up to the summit of the mountain. The grooves that sculpt it are due to the subtle differences in the nature and cementing of the grains of the rock (the hollow areas are those that crumble the most under the effect of freezing and thawing). They show that it has bedding, despite its often very massive appearance." extract from Geol-Alp

Beautiful bridge over the gorge

Easy and very pretty, a 360° as we like them in Chartreuse

Very beautiful gorges of the Chartreuse.

La Pinéa is a pretty rocky summit which is located in the middle of the Chartreuse at 1,771 meters above sea level. It offers numerous views of the highest mountains of the massif.

Make a refreshing stop at the bridge which, at one point, crosses the guier. A path runs along the torrent and provides access to the water.

Culminating at 1,867 meters, the Charmant Som is an emblematic summit of the Chartreuse massif. From the inn of the same name, accessible by car, the ascent is made without major difficulty. At the top, the panorama is spectacular!
