Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse is undoubtedly the most famous village in the massif. Surrounded by the summit of Chamechaude (2,082 meters), the Grand Som (2,026 meters) and the Charmant Som (1,867 meters), it is a dynamic village in which many events take place. Saint-Pierre has its own local produce market every Monday as well as its ski area!

Col du Coq

Highlight • Mountain Pass

- Don't be surprised: I created the highlight because the previous highlight was in the wrong place (not on the "real pass") -
The Col du Coq is the highest pass in the Chartreuse. From the north / west (St. Pierre) the road is in really bad condition (08/2020), there are some sections for which a gravel bike would be more suitable. Unfortunately, the worst part is also at the steepest (over 15%) point. The ascent from the north / west (I only drove this side) has two longer steep sections, but is otherwise easy to do. You shouldn't be surprised that shortly before the summit it goes downhill for a relatively long time, only to then climb again well. On the east side, you can either descend right into the valley (but be careful: very long, completely unlit tunnel on the descent !!) or to the left to the Petites Roches.

Road to Col du Coq

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Small, very nice pass road (its charm will make you almost forget that it is a little bumpy). It begins along a stream in the forest, continues with a few pretty ledges, to reach the Col du Coq.

Arcabas Museum in Chartreuse

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Saint-Hugues is initially no more incredible than any other. But it is more than a religious building, it is the story of an unknown man, Arcabas, who dedicated 25 years of his life to decorating and designing the stained glass windows of this church, alone. This miracle is now famous for the place, which has become a "museum" of contemporary religious art.

Saint-Hugues-de-Chartreuse Church

Highlight • Religious Site

A charming little village in the Chartreuse, a very accessible starting point for hikes due to its location on the plateau.
