Beauregard by the Round Tower

Equipment : Pedestrian sports, Hiking itinerary

On the foothills of Belledonne, this itinerary, between valley and mountain,
takes you from an urban atmosphere to a country atmosphere. The descent from the Tour Ronde to Pierre Malore requires a little attention in its steep part.

Step by step

To start your hike, look for the Matussière hiking sign (alt. 247 m) on the north side of the parking lot, and take the "Montée de Belledonne" towards Beauregard at 2.28 km. The signs you follow are yellow.
The road soon becomes a small footpath which rejoins the road to Revel. Follow it for 30 m, then turn right onto another asphalt section. Watch out for traffic on the route de Revel. Below a building, the path leads off
left at the foot of a wall. You're now in the forest above Domène. Further up, you cross the road again to continue slightly to the left and reach the Pierre Malore intersection (alt. 380 m). Continue straight on towards Beauregard and Les Grands Bois. When you reach Les Grands Bois (alt. 460 m), turn right, still towards Beauregard. You start out on a slightly steep section under spruce trees, and fork right in the middle of the climb, to skirt the upper part of the meadows. Once past the meadows, as you reach the forest, turn right to descend quickly to the hamlet of Beauregard (alt. 480 m). Leave the houses on your left and continue towards the Tour
Ronde. The path overlooks the Revel road on your left, to reach a fork where you turn right to climb up a little, then down again to reach the Tour Ronde (alt. 470 m). Continue your descent back into the forest, and after a final steep section with a few steps, you come to the already-visited Pierre Malore intersection (alt. 380 m). All that's left is to take the path you took on the way up and return to your starting point.
