Summer hike Plan des Cavalles par le Téléphérique
Description
Take 1500 meters of altitude in a few minutes thanks to the cable cars and go to the discovery of the Plan des Cavalles. A nature peeled at the mercy of the vagaries of time.
It is a marked trail sometimes difficult to follow, because weather-dependent. He goes through the Plan des Cavalles, a balcony suspended at the foot of the Pic de l'Etendard. From the largest to the smallest water point, it is dotted with streams and lakes (La Jasse, Balme Rousse and Fare)
TO SEE ON THE COURSE: Very beautiful sight on the massif of Belledonne, on the Rissiou and Grand Galbert summits.
It is possible to reach the summit of the Aiguillettes de Vaujany and descend via the Col du Sabot (recommended route, as descending via the Col du Couard is only suitable for very experienced walkers comfortable with ledges and sections requiring handrails).
