The Auberge de la Jasserie is located at an altitude of 1,310 meters, at the foot of Crêt de la Perdrix. The inn allows you to eat but also offers beds. Count 46 euros for one night with meals plus breakfast. The welcome is great!

Crêt de la Botte

Highlight • Summit

One of the Pilat crests with a magnificent view of the surrounding ridges. A telecommunications tower overlooks the ridge which gives the place a very interesting atmosphere. In foggy weather, the tower appears for a few seconds as the wind pushes the clouds.

Crêt de l'Œillon

Highlight • Summit

The second most remarkable summit of the Pilat behind the Crêt de la Perdrix, this giant of gneiss and granite reveals, from its height of 1,364 meters, its trump card: a bird's-eye view of the Pic des Trois dents and the valley of the Rhône which extends at its feet. On a clear day, the gaze wanders to strange apparitions which imprint their reliefs on the horizon line: the Vercors mountains, the Ecrins and the Mont-Blanc range, for a natural spectacle that is both unreal and majestic.
