Very peaceful walk on the Via Chartreuse from the gorges of Crossey to Entre-2-Guiers. I saw 1 passage under 30-40cm of water in June 2024 during the heavy rain episodes

April 18, 2025,Weekend en Chartreuse, La Via Chartreuse ☀️⛅

This week's rain flooded fields, the peat bog, and the banks of the Herrétang Canal, including the Via Chartreuse and the path on the other side. In some places, there was up to 20 cm of water, making it difficult to return to the campsite with wet feet.
Wildlife observation posts offer beautiful views.
