The Fure is a 25-kilometer-long river that rises in the Lac de Paladru and flows into the Morge (a sub-tributary of the Isère). It crosses several communes in the Pays Voironnais, notably Charavines and Rives, before joining the Morge. Unlike mountain torrents, its flow is relatively regular thanks to the lake's supply, although it has historically experienced significant floods. The Fure valley trail offers shaded and easy walks, allowing you to discover local heritage, ponds (such as the Étang de la Cressonnière), and curiosities like the Pont du Bœuf viaduct in Rives.

The climb is on a lovely little road; the first half is quite gentle and leads you to a beautiful pond, while the second half is much steeper and takes you to the summit where there's an antenna. It's a dead end, but it makes for a nice out-and-back hike!
