Trail routes

The Belledonne Chartreuse region offers a unique terrain for running. Whether you set off for a short loop from Allevard-les-Bains, a long run from Les 7 Laux or a warm-up in the hamlets of Crêts-en-Belledonne, each trail immerses you in a lively and accessible setting.

Whether you’re an inquisitive beginner or an experienced runner, there’s something for everyone on these signposted routes that cross plains, undergrowth, mountain pastures and summits.
The loops on offer immerse you in unspoilt nature, with varied landscapes and breathtaking panoramas.

Les 7 Laux High altitude terrain for challenge seekers

The 7 Laux are an ideal playground for trail running, with a variety of routes between high altitude lakes, panoramic ridges and the mountain pastures of the Belledonne massif. From technical trails to accessible routes, each outing reveals spectacular panoramas of the Alps in a wild, unspoilt setting.

Le Pleynet - Haut-Bréda A wild trail in the heart of the Belledonne

Leaving from Le Pleynet or the hamlets of the Haut-Bréda valley, the trail routes offer total immersion in a wild and unspoilt environment. Between deep forests, technical trails and alpine landscapes, this area will delight lovers of raw nature, looking for an authentic playground in which to train or get away from it all.

Le Collet A place to progress

Easily accessible, Le Collet offers three trails on a human scale. From the resort or the surrounding area, the routes take you along challenging paths, between hairpin bends in the forest and more open sections with views over the valley. A good compromise between technical difficulty, reasonable gradient and mountain immersion. Perfect for progressing at your own pace, in a simple, unspoilt and welcoming setting.

Allevard-les-Bains Trails between thermal baths, forests and mountains

At Allevard-les-Bains, trail running takes place between the plains and the mountains, in a peaceful and accessible atmosphere. The routes pass through forests, belvederes and typical hamlets, offering a wide variety of terrain. It’s an ideal setting for progressing at your own pace while enjoying the natural surroundings… And why not take a wellness break at the thermal baths afterwards?

Le Barioz Immersion in the wilderness

Starting at the Col du Barioz, the trails take you through varied terrain, alternating between dense forests, clearings and uninterrupted views of the Grésivaudan. It’s the ideal place to start or resume your training in a calm atmosphere, away from the crowds. Here, you can run at the pace of the terrain, in the heart of nature, with the option of alternating between effort and recovery… in the thermal waters.
