ExploreDeparture point: Chamrousse 1650 - Recoin tourist office.
A short uphill walk with a well-deserved view of Grenoble and the Grésivaudan valley.
For the round trip, allow 45 minutes (1.4km).
Admire the paragliders as they take to the skies, contemplate the peaks that surround you, learn about the history of Grenoble and discover the story of the bête du Grésivaudan by consulting the reading tables at the top of the Aiguille.
Not to be missed! Continue on for 300m to reach the new #Chamrousse photo spot, just above the Col de l'Aiguille (at the arrival of the Casserousse chairlift, altitude 1870m). Allow a further 15 minutes' walk, 40m of ascent/10m of descent.
