    Great circular route on Mont Granier, the northern corner pillar of the Chartreuse. Everything necessary is very well secured. A dreamlike route in terms of scenery.

    The hike on Mont Granier is classified as difficult but is not a mountaineering route. There are some easy climbing sections and a secured passage. Sure-footedness and some climbing skill are required. The entire route is very well signposted and offers a great day hike in a beautiful landscape.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at La Plagne on a good path to the Col de l'Apette, all very well signposted. Then continue following the signs "Mont Granier, par les Barres," along a good hiking path, wonderful scenery. 

    Then the path turns left, also well signposted here, becoming steeper and a bit exposed but never difficult. Over some secured passages upwards and then on easy terrain with a few easy climbing sections (I) to the plateau. Then continue on easy terrain to the summit. The cross is not on the highest point and is now closed because the rock below has broken off. You can see that clearly on the descent.

    The descent leads downward to the west, a good path that specifically uses the "weak spots" of the western slope. Also spectacular is the passage through a large cave. Please always stay on the marked path to avoid knocking stones down below!
