A beautiful Sunday afternoon in Grenoble, we invited some of our coworkers to join us on the hike to the 2195m Pointe De La Sitre summit in the Belledonne range just east of Grenoble. This is one of those peaks that we can see from the house, so we thought we needed to check it out. It has been a while since I went up that high, past the treeline and into rocky territory. Since Grenoble is an outdoor paradise, this trail was pretty busy with people from 0-80 years old it seemed. Unfortunately, the 6 hour trip reminded me how out-of-shape I really am, so we will be taking a few more before the season is over and it gets to snowy.
