Roche Béranger - Lac Achard - Lacs Robert
12km665 m1h à 2h
Chamrousse (38)

A beautiful loop starting from Roche Béranger, which will take you first to Lac Achard, then to Lacs Robert after a 650 m ascent.
Lac Luitel - Col de la Madeleine
9km400 m1h à 2h
Séchilienne (38)

A fairly easy, shady loop, a stone's throw from the Luitel reserve, with a section on the Col de la Madeleine offering a fine, unobstructed view of the surrounding area.
L'Oursière - Refuge de la Pra - Lacs Robert
19km1300 m3h à 6h
Chamrousse (38)

Nice outing with a stopover at the refuge de la Pra. The first part of the route is mainly uphill along the Ruisseau du Doménon, passing the Cascade de l'Oursière. The second part after the refuge is gentler, crossing from lake to lake, but on technical terrain and with a final ascent before the Lacs Roberts.
Tour du Lac de la Belle Etoile
Vaujany (38)

A very fine walk/run, best done in fine weather and in summer (July-August so that the snow has melted!). A mountainous route, passing by several lakes. Magnificent views!
Cime de la Jasse par le Habert d'Aiguebellle
12.5 km1130m1h à 3h
Saint-Mury-Monteymond (38)
A round trip between mountain pastures, lakes and scree. Good gradient and typical Belledonne terrain, quite technical on the higher sections.
Col Morétan et Col de Merlet
29km2450 m5h-11h
Le Haut-Bréda (38)

A magnificent loop in the pure Belledonne atmosphere, i.e. lots of rocks, but also lakes (of Périoule), and a grandiose atmosphere. 
Boucle de la Croix de Belledonne
27km2500 m5 à 10h
Revel (38)

Discover 4 superb mountain lakes, typical of the Belledonne region, on this pretty loop that takes you up to the Croix de Belledonne at an altitude of 2926 m.
Lac de la Grande Sitre
9km850 m1h30 à 3h
Saint-Mury-Monteymond (38)

A nice return trip to discover the Lac de la Grande Sitre, a fairly quick and accessible escapade. Beware of the little trap: at the end, it descends towards the lake and you have to climb back up. Landscapes typical of the Belledonne mountains.
