Pointe de la Cochette
Le Désert d'Entremont

From the Bruyères parking lot, you enter a dense forest of oak and beech trees, ideal for hot days as the ascent to Col du Grapillon is quite steep.
It's a shame the ski lift on your right can't assist you!
Once you've reached the Col, you'll be on an easier and, more importantly, airier ridge path, allowing you to catch your breath before reaching the summit: from the Pointe de la Cochette, there's a beautiful panorama of the Bauges, Belledonne, the Italian side of Mont-Blanc, and as far as the Monts du Lyonnais.
Here, you'll find the large metal cross facing the Entremonts valley: its openwork design serves as a reminder of the fierce winds that can occur, so keep a close eye on the weather!
On the way back, gather a few mushrooms along the trail to make a well-deserved omelette, and enjoy a gourmet break at the Auberge du Praz on your way back, where Grégory will tantalize your taste buds!
