As the final climb of the Belledonne Balconies on the north-south route, this hill isn’t insurmountable given its length, but it can be tough depending on how your legs are feeling—especially in the section through the woods, which can catch you off guard. The reward at the summit is well worth the effort—the view is breathtaking.
Tremplin final des balcons de Belledonne dans le sens nord-sud, cette bosse n'est pas insurmontable au regard de sa longueur, mais peut faire mal selon l'état de ses jambes, en particulier dans le passage en sous-bois qui peut surprendre. Belle récompense au sommet, la vue est époustouflante.
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.
