A mini tour in the Chartreuse Mountains offers the chance to discover diverse landscapes. There are different routes to choose from each day: the "moderate" level is suitable for people who are reasonably fit but in good physical condition. The hotels and meals were simple but good. However, the travel guide contained information that should have been available BEFORE arrival (e.g., a list of equipment to bring). There were a few errors in the printed itineraries, but the app made it easy to find your way.
