Croix de Chamrousse - Les Vans
Departure: gondola's arrival at 2250m of altitude.
A summit one deserves, where you are likely to meet ibexes. After a one-hour ascent, in a haven of peace, admire the Oisans Mountains, l’Alpe d’Huez or the Deux Alpes glacier. Overlook the Bourg d’Oisans valley.
This hike is for experienced hikers who are able to orientate without the help of painted signposting.
