GR® 738 – The High Crossing of Belledonne

About us

The Haute Traversée de Belledonne GR® 738, otherwise known as the Sentier des bergers for its pastoral character, is a full crossing of the Belledonne range that can be done in 11 days to explore the mountain pastures.

This integral crossing can also be done partially (north, center or south part). Around the crossing, there are also two Tours de Pays: the Tour du Pays d'Allevard and the Tour of the 7 Laux lakes.

⚠ Closure, by municipal decree since 20/06/2022 and until further notice, of the walking and hiking access to the GR®738 portion between Lac du Crozet and Col de la Pra, following a landslide (see map for download).
