Elev gain

This first stage of the crossing of the Chartreuse contains the biggest elevation gain of the four days of walking with close to 1,500 metres.
Leaving from Grenoble station, the path crosses the Isère before climbing up to Fort de la Bastille, for a lovely view of the city. It then continues to climb below Mont Rachais, then reaches Saint-Eynard (1,379 m) and its fort, the highest point of this leg.
Finally, it will be time to take the Sentier des Crêtes to Sappey-en-Chartreuse, for a well-deserved rest.
