On the marked "Tramway" route that connects Grenoble to Saint Nizier du Moucherotte. Some steep sections and varied road surfaces.

This orientation table dates back to 1924. To reach it, take the path to the right uphill from the main road. The panorama is interesting, with a 360-degree view of the Vercors, Chartreuse, and Belledone.

The walk along the limestone cliffs is quite surprising. Very rolling track, but very busy, caution necessary
