Description of the route by the creator
A typical hike in the nearby northern Vercors from Villard-de-Lans. To make the walk easier, park at Balcon de Villard and take the "Côte 2000" cable car from the parking lot. The first part of the trail is clearly visible, but unmarked. It follows the side of the mountain to reach the first "Sœur". Many chamois and ibex are present in this area, but they are not shy or afraid of dogs! Descend slightly to reach the Col des 2 Sœurs, then climb again to reach the summit of the walk: La Grande Sœur Agathe. Return to the resort via Lac de la Moucherolle, where the path is wide and easy to follow. Finally, take the cable car back to the resort parking lot (check the timetable first).
