This pleasant forest climb is either the last consistent obstacle on the Balcons de Belledonne route when coming from Allevard, or the last section of the ascent to Les Roussets when coming from Domène via Saint-Jean-le-Vieux.
As the forest clears, the summit is close at hand and on a clear day there are magnificent views over the valley and Grenoble, as well as over the local part of the "Balcon" (Revel, Corps d'Uriage) and the neighbouring peaks of the Belledonne.
Agréable montée forestière qui constitue généralement soit le dernier obstacle consistant de la route des Balcons de Belledonne quand on vient d'Allevard, soit la dernière portion de la montée aux Roussets en venant de Domène par Saint-Jean-le-Vieux.
Quand la forêt s'éclaircit, le sommet est proche et on aboutit à de magnifiques points de vue par temps clair sur la vallée et Grenoble, de même que sur la partie locale du « Balcon » (Revel, Corps d'Uriage) et les sommets avoisinants de Belledonne.
Si la forme le permet, je recommande de prolonger cette côte en montant au lac de Freydières et au carrefour des Quatre Chemins, soit environ 5 km de montée supplémentaire, malheureusement en cul-de-sac.
