If you shy away from the idea of climbing the very difficult Col du Granier via Chapareillan, this climb is a less arduous alternative. That said, it's not to be underestimated. Long, very exposed to the sun in the first part, then more sheltered but uneven, it has a few short, steep sections.

There are some fine views of the Isère valley and the Montmélian cluse along the way. In the distance, towards the rear, you can sometimes make out Mont Blanc.

Those feeling sufficiently fit can then continue to the Col de Marcieu and then the Plateau des Petites Roches, via a rollercoaster route.

Si on recule devant l'idée de grimper le très difficile col du Granier par Chapareillan, cette montée-là est une solution de repli moins ardue. Ceci dit, elle n'est pas à sous-estimer. Longue, très exposée au soleil dans sa première partie puis plus abritée mais irrégulière, elle présente quelques courtes sections bien pentues.

À noter qu'elle commence en fait à Chapareillan même, plus bas que La Palud, et que donc elle est plus longue d'environ 2 km qu'indiqué ici. Ce début de montée est commun à celui du col du Granier.

De beaux points de vue sur la vallée de l'Isère et la cluse de Montmélian se dévoilent le long de la montée. Au loin, vers l'arrière, on distingue parfois le Mont Blanc.

Ceux qui se sentent suffisamment en forme peuvent prolonger ensuite jusqu'au col de Marcieu puis le plateau des Petites Roches, par une route en montagnes russes très ombragée et spectaculaire.
