The Crêtes Itinerary
Walking tours Circuit n° 5 The Crêtes Itinerary > The Hiker's Charter 4 (Alt. 500 m) You are on the boundaries of the communes of Herbeys and Vaulnaveys-le-Haut. Do not take the path on the right which goes towards Herbeys but instead take the path completely on your left practically making a half turn as you do so. This path goes down towards the Alberges in a north-easterly direction. 1. 2. 3. 4. I follow the marked trail and don't create shortcuts. I respect nature and think of others. I use the proper equipment.. I prepare my walk and I carry both a map and a compass. 5. When hiking in the mountains, I hike early in the day and I leave my planned itinerary with family or friends. 6. I know that I am either on public or private property - I close gates and fences and respect other people’s privacy. 7. I don't litter. 8. I respect my fellow travellers and don't hestiate to say bonjour. 9. I don't start campfires outside of specifically designated areas. 10. I pack enough to eat and drink for my hike. 5 (Alt. 412 m) Once at the bottom do not go as far as the roundabout, but instead take the first road left “le chemin des Alberges.” You will notice the imposing houses built at the beginning of the XXth century. The path comes back on to avenue d’Uriage. Cross over it and walk along the tree-lined alley in the direction of Uriage Park, walk along the park and come back to the parking lot just at the entrance of Uriage.

Follow the path (sentier des anciennes fabriques) which slopes gently in the direction of Sonnant d’Uriage. Once at Sonnant continue on the path which passes in front of the stores as far as the zebra crossing. Cross the road (do not enter the housing lot des Peiffendes), follow the road for 450 metres then turn left as you cross the bridge without a parapet. 2 (Alt. 350 m) Walk into the housing lot of Vaujalas as far as the crossroads. Opposite, a path goes up into a meadow, up towards the woods. Climb this path which is quite steep, in a southeasterly direction. Once in the woods this path separates slightly towards the right and goes on to reach some fields. Above you you will then see the characteristic houses of Villeneuve d’Uriage. 3 (Alt. 580 m) Walk through the hamlet and pass in front of the old washing fountain below the chapel in the direction of Uriage. Take the first path on the right (chemin des Taillées), continue along this flat path which turns full south (from now on called chemin de Champ-Quieu). You will find yourself out in open fields on the ridges between Villeneuve d’Uriage and Herbeys. From here you can admire the magnificent views over the Belledonne and the Vercors mountain ranges. You reach the highest point of the tour (615 m) before starting on the gentle climb down facing south-west in the direction of Vaulnaveys-le-Haut. Do not take a path on the right which leads to a farm and continue instead down along the ridge before arriving at the spot where the paths fork.
