Departure: gondola's arrival at 2250m of altitude.
Croix of Chamrousse - Oursière waterfall: 4,8km (1h45)

Between mountain streams and lakes, don't miss the Oursière waterfall. A beautiful hike that takes you to the foot of this 80m-high waterfall.

Alternatively, you can descend to Seiglières (approx. 2 hrs).
