Les délices de Notre Dame
Magnificent route! Breathtaking view above the Vénéon! Unmissable!
The proximity of the waterfall makes this route exotic and wild. The climbing is generally homogeneous and technical.

Location details
On the road to Villard-Notre-Dame, go past the hamlet of Creux, then a first hairpin bend and stop at the 2nd (kilometer marker 5). The path goes down on the outside of the bend.
Go down to the top of the waterfall (cairns) through meadows and some coppices (about 10 minutes). Cross the torrent at a beautiful basin (a bathtub) just at the top of the waterfall.
Abseil down the right bank route (7 abseils of 45m). Be careful with the second abseil: follow the route (pull left) and therefore do not join the abseil in the axis, in a slab under a small overhang. Recovering the next abseil on the left requires a complicated pendulum.
