SPOT
The Big Rock
Exceptional belvedere on the Belledonne massif
The Grand Rocher is a summit of the Belledonne massif in Isère. Culminating at an altitude of 1,926 m, it offers a breathtaking view of the Vercors, Chartreuse, Gresivaudan and the highest peaks of the Northern Alps. It is climbed in summer with good walking shoes in a wild and preserved nature smelling of blueberries. We hurtle down its slopes by mountain bike on magnificent single tracks crossing a dense spruce forest. In winter, you reach the summit on snowshoes and the descent is done on ski touring in a snowy powder landscape.
