La Croix de Combefolle
Follow the old mule track through the Gorges de la Daille
Climbing high above the Gorges de la Daille this trail is not recommended for those that suffer from vertigo.
Starting from the bridge in the centre of La Daille, cross over to the west bank of the Isere and head north on the old mule track towards Lac du Chevril.
The path then climbs through the old mine, past the Gorges de la Daille using hand rails (be careful when wet), and heads into the Laye woods, whose flora is particularly attractive.
Turn left towards the Croix de Combefolle (viewpoint), from where the path rises to the Vallon de le Toviere. Here you then follow the GR5 back down to La Daille.
