Ayes Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Superb view of snow-capped mountains. Fairly frequented place, to do out of season.

Warning!
the dogs are poorly trained, so stay calm and wait for the sheep to reorganize.

At the top of the Dent de Crolles (2,062 meters), the view emerges over the entire Grésivaudan valley. Second highest summit of the Chartreuse massif after Chamechaude at 2082 meters, its ascent is however more technical.

Cheminée du Paradis

Highlight • Gorge

Cheminée du Paradis, deep crack between two fairly narrow rocky blocks (be careful not to have a backpack that is too wide), about ten meters long, in which you progress literally sandwiched by a succession of steps (approximately 8 m difference in level between the bottom and the top).

Narrow Passage with Balanced Boulder

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the way up or down, this passage can be scary but is in fact not at all dangerous or exposed. However, it is better not to have too big a bag!

Trou du Glaz

Highlight • Other

The Trou du Glaz is a unique place where fallen rocks seem to be suspended in the air. The entrance to the caves is worth a brief exploration and perhaps a brief respite from the sun on a hot day?

Tour of the Dent de Crolles

Highlight • Summit

The ascent to the South then East face allowed us to make the return (descent) via the snow-covered north face before a slight ascent towards the west in the dry.
To do again!!!
