Guest Book

I'm an Australian that is fortunate to have an assignment in Voreppe for 3 years. Each morning I wake to a view of Grande Sure. A couple of weeks ago I woke to a view of stars and that gorgeous pre-dawn spring blue sky above the massif. I looked on the web for track notes to reach the summit and found your suggested path. I loved the suggested route as the climb up through the forest, followed by fields of wild daffodils and rock climbing were so very diverse compared to the hidden valley, bubbling stream, remaining patches of white snow and cliff edge descent with views out across the Vercors. Thank you for these notes. I look forward to discovering the remainder of your suggestions over the next couple of years.

We will be visiting La Chartreuse in June. We will spend some time walking and cycling in the massif before watching the Dauphine Libre cycle race and moving on to ride L'Ardechoise cyclosportive.
You have provided all the information we need for our walks but any advice on cycling routes would be of value.

What a great, informative and well written site. I've been looking all day at potential walking areas in Switzerland, Italy and France and have now been convinced that The Chartreuse is the place I'll be spending a week this summer! I can't wait to explore the area myself.

Many Thanks,
Lance

We've been living in the Chartreuse now for 20 months in the village of St Etienne de Crossey and waking up to the view of the Grand Sure every morning. It's a beautiful and wonderful place and in the coming years we hope to share its secrets and invite cyclists and walkers to stay here with us.

Well done on providing such an informative guide.

What an stunning, beautiful place. It was so interesting and informative to learn about this place and those that have made their lives here. I enjoyed the movie so very much.

This is just to say that the site has recently undergone a major update.

A new route has been added for Mont Outheran; the ascent of la Grande Sure via the West Chimney has been improved; a large number of photographs have been added; and a host of minor modifications have been made.

I have also put together a PDF file which contains all the site's main pages and maps, but excludes the photographs. It is basically an amalgamation of the printer versions of the various pages.
