Orientation table at the Tour Sans Venin

Highlight • Viewpoint

This orientation table dates back to 1924. To reach it, take the path to the right uphill from the main road. The panorama is interesting, with a 360-degree view of the Vercors, Chartreuse, and Belledone.

Great trail that climbs to Saint-Nizier and avoids the dangerous road... Newly marked Via du Tram with historical signs and photos.

Tremplin du Dauphiné

Highlight • Other

The site is impressive. It's like an industrial wasteland, but surrounded by nature. Imagining yourself at the top of the ski jump is quite frightening.

July 21, 2022,Une classique depuis la maison: St Nizier

It's nice, the whole climb is done in the shade via the tram line. The grass is yellow, the ground is dry and sandy, unheard of. We met the UT4M trailers. At the ravito of St Nizier, some had already suffered a lot, already abandonments.

No luck, there was a violent storm localized for 30 minutes on the descent, just for “my mouth”. I got a bad bowl, my wrist hurts.

Above all, they hide the irregularities of the terrain. I'm not going to complain, the weather is nice, and for once I have a little thought for those who are at work 😉

The temperature is ideal. You still have to be careful on the descent, the northern parts are still very wet.

Quiet ascent by the voice of the tram a real pleasure, for the descent a multitude of paths cross and cross from the easy to the most demanding.

Beautiful hike, good weather, no mud, a rough descent on the Vouillants in Seyssinet-Pariset

Just after the tunnel going up towards Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, the track told me to go to the right but I strongly advise against it, it is a very steep slope, I have already done it on foot frankly I do not recommend mountain biking. It is better to continue taking a detour and climb gradually. Then for the return, be careful …
