In Gresse-en-Vercors, head towards the resort, just before the church. At the next roundabout, turn left, still heading towards the resort. Park in the large car park on Rue du Grand Veymont, just after the artisan bakery.
(S/E) Walk back down to the roundabout and turn left up Route de Pierre Blanche. After 150 m, turn right onto the path that heads north. It leads to the edge of La Ville. Take the tarmac road on the right.
(1) At the Croix de Serre Monet, turn left towards Les Grands Deux on the Sentier des Arbres (discovery trail). The path descends to the Ruisseau de la Daraze, which you must cross. Once you reach the road, continue left towards Les Petits Deux.
(2) At the crossroads in the hamlet, go up the street on the right and after the last house on the left, turn left towards Cote Joubert. The slope gradually becomes steeper but you will soon find yourself in the shade, which is very pleasant. From an altitude of 1,450 metres, the path approaches the Ravin de Farnaud and offers a beautiful view of the cliffs of Gresse-en-Vercors. It then winds its way to the edge of the forest.
(3) At Côte Joubert, climb left towards the west in the direction of Sous-Séguret, which you will reach after 300 m. The view of Rocher Séguret and Ravin de Farnaud is very beautiful.
(4) At Sous-Séguret, turn left towards Pas de La Ville. This part of the hike should never be attempted in winter. The passage is a little tricky for about 400 m, as you cross above the Ravin de Farnaud. Walk along the balconies of Gresse-en-Vercors without any significant elevation gain and taking care.
(5) Once you reach the top of the Pré Levé ski lift, you will be overlooking the resort's ski area. Continue along the south-west facing slope for about 200 metres.
(6) Leave the main piste and take the path on the right. Pass above the Pierre Blanche ski lift and then above the Ravin de Combe Longue before arriving at Sous Le Pas de La Ville. You will see Pas de La Ville to the west and Grand Veymont to the south-west.
(7) Take the path on the left, which descends quite steeply at times, until you reach the edge of the forest and arrive at the Champ de l'Herse reservoir.
(8) Continue gently along the road to reach La Ville and its car park (S/E).
