The cable car takes you up to the Ruillans Pass. At 3211m above sea level, at the Girose Glacier not far from La Meije ! You will be able to contemplate a grandiose panorama and see different peaks from the Vercors range to the Mont Blanc massif.
The ascent is made in 2 sections from 1450 to 3200m in about 30 minutes. At 3200m, there's a high-altitude restaurant, orientation tables and a magnificent panorama.
At 2400m: pretty meadows for a panoramic picnic, a nice walk to the Puy Vachier lake and the Chancel refuge.

A breathtaking panorama at the foot of the glaciers to discover with family and friends. On arrival, you'll be greeted by orientation tables and a high-altitude chalet restaurant with a large wooden terrace. You'll find deckchairs where you can soak up the sun, admire the breathtaking scenery and relax!
Mountain biking and hiking trails are available in summer.
Right under your feet, the Girose Glacier!
The panorama takes in the Belledonne massif, the Thabor, the Aravis and Mont Blanc.
360° of breathtaking views! Roped up and assisted by the advice of a mountain professional, the glacier's gaping crevasses can be approached (outings on the Glacier de la Girose organized by the Bureau des Guides).
In winter, the cable car provides access to a unique off-piste area.

/!\ Haute-Altitude is not recommended for children under 2 /!\

No need to book, you can pay directly at the cash desk at the bottom of the lifts.
