생 피에르 드 샤르트뢰즈 최고의 등산 경로

Favor the climb via Sarcenas, almost no cars

Exceptional site at the foot of the Dent de Crolle with access via a wild forest road

The climb to the charming Som from the Col de Porte is always a treat. There are some very steep sections, but the view at the top is worth it. Be careful on the descent: uneven road, tight bends, cars.

Beautiful rock formation. Here is one of the steepest sections

There's still a lot to do if you want to climb the Dent de Crolles :)

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.

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
