Belledonne traverse in 3 days

Belledonne traverse in 3 days | France

Marc, UIMLA certified mountain leader, invites you here to discover Belledonne in this 3-day hiking traverse enjoying stunning views!

Alps

3 Days

Jun - Sep


Description

I invite you on this occasion to a beautiful traverse of the Belledonne to be done in 3 days.

We will leave from the Freydières gorges above Revel. Then, we will hike until Rivier d’Allemond, a typical mountain village. In fact, the houses in this village have large timber frames. When in town, we can visit the goat house as well as the ibex museum.

The views over the Grand Pic (2980m) and the Freydane glacier (2600m) on the second day are truly impressive.

Although the ascent of the Croix de Belledonne is in the program, this will depend on the weather. I will also consider the level of the participants to decide whether we do this ascent.

Did you find this hiking trip in Belledonne tempting? Then please get in touch with me so we can arrange the next departure! It will be my pleasure showing you this beautiful area.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
