Start of 3 Day Hike 65
June 18 2008 Contributor: Christine Leon

Well I am fortunate to be living at the foot of Mt Rachais (where the Bastille is located) and have been spending most of my free days hiking around this area (Fort du St.Eynard, St. Egreve, Sappey en Chartreuse). Now that good weather is finally arriving in Grenoble (very wet and cold May/June) I plan to do a 3 day hike from Grenoble to Chambery. I am a fast and fit walker and want to see if I can do it, but my main goal is to enjoy myself and profit from the superb surroundings.

Thank you for your site. You are gifted in writing. I find the descriptions of each walk to be very detailed, clear, and beautifully written.

Kind Regards,
Christine

Thank you for your kind comments, Christine. I hope you have a wonderful walk, and that the sun smiles upon you. I'm sure that we would all like to know how you get on.

I'll be in Chartreuse in a couple of weeks, staying in the Martinière campsite.

Salut,

I've spent in Grenoble 4 beautiful years of my life. I was hiking in Chartreuse at least once a month. For me this is a heaven on earth. I had to move on for at least one year. But now I know that this is a place I want to live in. As soon as I come back to Grenoble in 2008, I will certainly take a look into this guide, while planning next, extraordinary Sunday in Chartreuse. Thanks!

Jacek

Hello, Jacek - I hope that you'll fulfil your ambition. It's the place many of us would like to live...

Thanks for the Information 35

I was with a group of 7 SUSS cavers - lucky enough to visit the Dent de Crolles in October 2004. Two and a half years later and I'm days away from flying out of Sydney airport to return to the Chartreuse. Alas - no caving this trip, but a week staying with the (French) in-laws should be ample compensation. My wife's brother Xavier has promised some beautiful walks, and judging from your site I'm sure he wont disappoint. Thank you for the information and photos - which make me very keen to get back to this beautiful part of the world.

The Webmaster replies:

Hello, Don - I trust that you weren't disappointed. March isn't the best of the walking months!

Great Guide 34

I've lived in Saint Pierre De Chartreuse now for a couple of years with my French wife. The information on this site is absolutely great and much needed. We recently helped the Saint Pierre tourist office translate their tourist guide into English, would be a great idea to have this web site linked from the St Pierre tourist site.

The Webmaster replies:

Hello, Paul. I'm glad you like the site. If you would like to persuade the St. Pierre Tourist Office?

Lovely to hear that folks from Old Blighty are discovering this wonderful area of France. To my knowledge, I was the first 'ros beef' to settle around here (1999).

Let me know where your new house is and whether we can help out in any way. As Gite owners, we always recommend this excellent site to increasing numbers of English/American/Australian guests. Well done John!

Thanks! 32

Just bought a house in this beautiful area and this site will be a great help to find my way around the stunning countryside. Thankyou!
