Refuge du Taillefer (depuis la Grenonière – Ornon)
Very nice walk to reach the refuge as you cross mountain pastures, habitat of marmots and flocks of sheep in summer. The path gradually rises above the valley, offering a magnificent panorama of the Oisans Massif.
The Plateau du Taillefer is a Natura 2000 site, many species of fauna and flora are protected and sensitive there, we must therefore adapt our behavior so that the landscape and biodiversity continue to amaze us:
– I stay on marked trails (paint, signs, etc.). I do not take shortcuts that cause soil erosion, destroy vegetation and disturb wildlife and herds.
– I keep my dog on a leash so as not to disturb wildlife and domestic herds.
– I don’t make fires in the mountains. It destroys the soil for decades.
– I camp outside of wetlands and pitch my tent at suitable times (19 p.m. to 9 a.m.).
– I don't throw away trash.
– I don’t pick flowers. I prefer a lasting memory by taking a photo.
– I am inquiring about private ownership of certain areas.
