Via Corda – 3 Pucelles
DESCRIPTIONS & INFORMATION
The 3 Pucelles course is located on the Vercors massif above the commune of St-Nizier-du-Moucherotte and its unforgettable ski jump from the 1969 Olympics!
These needles, which are clearly visible from Grenoble city centre, dominate the Grenoble valley and offer a breathtaking view of the Vercors, Chartreuse and Taillefer ranges!
This is where you'll find the famous Via Corda des 3 Pucelles. It's a route that's part easy climb, part dizzying hike and part short ridge run.
After a 45-minute approach walk, the route begins with a 25-metre abseil, then continues along beautiful corridors and horizontal ledges. The last few short climbs will take us to the summit of the main aiguille. With Grenoble and the Chartreuse Massif on one side and the Vercors Massif on the other, you can take in the breathtaking 360° view!
!
Next comes what is surely the most impressive part of the route, a zip line stretched between 2 needles and leading to the final summit ridge before returning to our starting point.
This Via Corda des 3 Pucelles is well suited to families, groups or works council. A rich and varied discovery not to be missed in the Grenoble area!
And on hot summer days, the Furon canyon is not far away!
