Presentation
A beautiful hike in the heart of the Sybelles mountain pastures, on one of the highest grassy summits in Europe.
At an altitude of over 2400 metres, enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the Arvan valley, the Belledonne mountain range and the Ecrins massif. After wandering through a wide variety of landscapes, from Alpine hamlets to abandoned mountain huts and vast alpine meadows, you can take a well-deserved break at the top of France's 4th largest ski area. On sunny days, you'll even have the chance to see Mont Blanc in the distance!
