Cascade de la Sarenne, Bourg d'Oisans

At the foot of the slabs note the lovely Cascade de la Sarenne on the right as you wander along a footpath to the main road. Turn left and follow this road to a roundabout, beyond which you cross the Romanche and soon enter Bourg d'Oisans.

ROUTE 2

Barrage du Chambon (1044m) – Cuculet (1289m) – Mont-de-Lans (1280m) – Barrage du Chambon

StartBarrage du Chambon (1044m)Distance6kmTotal Ascent236mGrade1Time2½–3hrsLocationSouth of Lac du Chambon

This undemanding walk provides views across and along Lac du Chambon, visits a small hamlet and also the village of Mont-de-Lans. Although much of the way is on tracks and minor roads, there should be very little traffic (if any) to contend with.

Leave the barrage by walking south along D213 in the direction of Mont-de-Lans, but shortly break off on a track sloping downhill to the left where a sign gives 1hr to Cuculet. Occasional blue waymarks will be seen. Crossing a stream the way turns north, then when it forks you take the upper path which swings uphill heading south. After crossing a meadow enter woodland and, twisting uphill in and out of woods, eventually come to a road leading directly into Cuculet. (It's possible to take a path from here down to the lake shore and follow this upvalley to a bridge beyond the lake at 1091m, where you join the main N91 road. Another option is to follow a path climbing southeast to the Chalet de la Fée some 900m or so above the hamlet, reached in about 3hrs from Cuculet.)
