Échelles Tunnel and St. Christophe la Grotte Guesthouse

Highlight • Structure

Be careful if komoot tells you 27% slope... it's actually just 5% (no GPS in the tunnel, komoot imagines that we go through the summit...)

Grotte de Saint-Christophe

Highlight • Cave

Walking through the gorge is worth a visit... Unfortunately, we were there again at the wrong time for a guided tour of the cave

The Sarde Road

Highlight • Trail

Superb road and vestige of the Roman road which linked Lyon to Chambéry. Today a hiking trail, this ancient Roman road can be rediscovered on foot in a sumptuous setting!

Unfortunately, at the time of my visit there was no guided tour and therefore no entry into the caves... The walk is still worthwhile
