The climb from the Col du Coq to the plateau of St Hilaire is quite difficult. The views from the plateau are exceptional.

Very nice descent on the mountainside. Peaceful single with a gentle slope. But the pins nevertheless remain technical

No Hogwarts Express here, but a few pretty houses, superb views of the Belledonne range, a few lodges, and even a pizzeria! Saint-Pancrasse is nestled at the foot of the Dent de Crolles and offers a view of it that is truly incredible!
