Short hike with a start under the sun and the rain after 1 hour of walking, mud, twice the buttocks on the ground this weather is the daily life of every day sun in the morning and storm in the afternoon. Otherwise beautiful panorama to arrive at La Croix du mont rachais..

Mont Rachais, a gentle giant watching over Grenoble, a slow climb, happily in the shade with the sunlight caressing the ridge.

Grenoble, a city below, like a carpet of roofs and dreams, spread out between the arms of three mountain ranges: Chartreuse, Vercors, and Belledonne.

Standing there, Grenoble seems far away, a silver echo in the valley.
