Go down the forest track where you will find a curiosity along the way: the 44-metre-high President Tree.
From a clearing, it will be possible to take a variation that shortens the route, otherwise descend to the Carrière crossroads, which takes you to a wide forest track.
As you leave the woods, take the path through a meadow to a panoramic orientation table. Take time to take in the beautiful views of Grenoble, Saint-Martin d'Uriage, the Vercors and the Chartreuse. Descend the path back to Les Seiglières.
