Tracol

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Small pass easily accessible from the Ruchère Nordic Center, via a snowshoe trail. The path is often quite well-packed, so snowshoes should remain on your bag.

Ruchère Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Also worth the climb if you do not continue to the Petit Som or the Grand Som. The view down the valley of Saint-Bruno, with the Charmant Som at the opposite side is pretty good.

Picknick spot close to the Col de la Ruchère

Highlight • Other

If you walk from the Col de la Ruchère down to the Habert de Billon, there's a perfect picknick spot just under the col, at the edge of the woods.

It seems that this habère is the largest sheepfold in Chartreuse which could accommodate more than 100 cows and store the hay accordingly...source "croquerando.com/Blog-aquarelle-montagne.c/b23021a/Le_habert_de_Billon_Chartreuse".. If more information, please let me know.
