Small but mighty! This short trip to Mont Outheran really has it all! The summit wall is climbed via steep grassy bands and climbing steps – an adventure for experienced mountaineers (T5)!
Dent de Crolles southwest flank seen from Bec Charvet - hard to believe that a path goes through here!

The second and third highest peaks of the Chartreuse massif are climbed on little-used paths. Scramblers and pathfinders will get their full money's worth on this route (T4+).

Chamechaude is the highest peak of the Chartreuse massif and almost accessible to everyone via the normal route (T3, 750 m altitude gain). This report describes the more demanding alpine version (T5 II).

Mont Granier, with its 900 m high north face, is one of the most impressive mountains in the Chartreuse. In 2016, the mountain became known due to a rockfall below the summit cross.

This circular hike connects two very contrasting summits: the gentle grassy dome Charmant Som and the pointed rock tooth La Pinéa. A partly rarely frequented but easy mountain hike (T3).
