Mont Granier, Chartreuse

Here is a small photo-report about last-year hike (October) to the Mont Granier at the northern part of the Chartreuse Mountains, not far from Chambery city.









Top of the Mont Granier - 1933 m a.s.l.


At the back (in the middle) there is Chamechaude mountain (2082 m a.s.l.) which also can be seen from our kitchen!


The mountain is famous among BASE-jumpers - it has one of the highest cliffs in France (about 900 m).














Entrance to the cave la Balme à Collomb - the mountain has more than 55 km of cave-tunnels ... In one of the caves of this system a few decades ago speleologists found thousands of skeletons of cave bears ...
