Is Sunday a day of rest, or a sunny day to quest? 🤔 Let's find out. We'll park at "Pré du Four" 🚗 and embark on an 11km journey with 812m elevation to reach the top of Pic St-Michel 🗻. Together, let's explore a new path upwards 🧭. Starting from the parking lot, we'll trek through the forest 🌲, gradually ascending towards Col de l'Arc 🛤️. As we climb, we'll leave the forest canopy behind 🌳➡️🌄. We'll take a small detour to drink at a water fountain 💧. From Col de l'Arc, it's a climb to the summit of Pic St-Michel, where we'll savor the view and enjoy our lunch 🥪🍏. We might encounter a sprinkle of rain 🌦️ or a few snowflakes ❄️ at the peak. Descending, we'll return to Col de l'Arc and then veer off onto a forest trail 🌲 that loops back to the parking lot. Near the end, we could detour past some communication antennas for an alternate view of Grenoble 📡🏙️. Time permitting, we might drive to "Tourbières du Peuil" for a brief 2 km hike amidst flora 🌼🌷. Hopefully, we'll spot some daffodils and other blooms 🌸. Then, it's back to Grenoble by car 🚗.
