ヴィラール・ボノの天然記念物・トップ19

From this cross there is a splendid view of the Chartreuse massif, the Grésivaudan valley towards Grenoble and Chambéry, the Belledonne massif and, as an added bonus, there are orientation tables. Super 👌!

Magnificent lake! Accessible to all! As a bonus, you'll find ibexes and a few marmots if you're lucky. For the more courageous, you can climb to an altitude of 2,900 m by continuing on the path with a magnificent view if the sky is clear!

A stunning summit with views of Mont Blanc. The two climbs from the Col des Ayes are relatively steep, but steel cables are installed at the more dangerous sections. The climb north via the Trou du Glaz is a bit longer and a bit easier. The climb east is a bit steeper and more exposed. The view is good, though.

To do...

Magnificent and relatively easy pass, with basic fitness. Offers a magnificent view of Mont Blanc. Be careful though, the Chaos and the Col are currently completely covered in snow. Being in a group, I did not attempt the ascent of the Col which, without equipment, can be particularly slippery and dangerous. Possibility of going back down via Prayet towards Saint Pierre en Chartreuse. Tested in November, however, no problems observed, very accessible.

Culminating at 2,062 meters above sea level, the Dent de Crolles is the second peak of Chartreuse. Accessible, it offers a vast panorama of the south of Chartreuse, the Belledonne massif and the Grésivaudan valley.

Really magnificent view of the malissard, the bellefont and the entire extension of the Chartreuse. The climb is not too hard, you can get water on the south side at the cabin at the foot of the source.

2nd highest peak in the Chartreuse. Looks impressive from afar with its sheer wall. There are 2 routes to go up there, the Trou du Glaz, and the pas de l'oeil. By the step of the eye from the Col des Ayes it is very steep at the beginning then on the balcony, then we arrive on the technical part with a chain to climb a small steep path. Be careful, this part is quite slippery on the stones and a little exposed in a fault in the cliff. Overall it's going well, you just have to be a little concentrated. The view at the top is amazing. The bivouac without tent is authorized there. Waking up in the early morning with the chamois is exceptional!
