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).

Observation May 2025: landslide on the road at the exit (uphill direction) of the tunnel. Passable on foot

Beautiful village at the entrance to Savoy

Very pleasant pass to climb, not too steep a slope, well marked all the way.

Nice place in the Chartreuse, but in 2 departments, Isere and Savoy.

End of the climb and arrival on the plateau

Arriving from Cessieu, I made a small detour via Voissant then the remaining 4 km to the Col des Mille Martyrs. Easy climb, no cars on this early Sunday afternoon and a very beautiful forest upon arrival. Bucolic viewpoints as a bonus during the climb. The descent to Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine is perfect. Super rolling surface and moderate slope allow you to reach 50 km/h effortlessly. Paradise exists, it is in Chartreuse.

These gorges are located on the borders of the departments of Isère and Savoie, marked by the course of the Guiers Vif, in the Chartreuse massif, not far from the communes of Des Échelles and Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, halfway between Voiron and Chambéry, upstream of the Échaillon gorges. In 1994, a new road directly connects Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont in Savoie to Corbel. It passes through the Guiers Vif gorges. The use of the road, priority given to local residents due to its narrowness and steep slopes, is not recommended in the middle of winter.
