The Pas de l'Oeille and its ibexes
A hike in the heart of the Vercors to discover ibex (numerous and not shy in these mountains). And as a bonus on arrival, beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Lac de la Moucherolle
This walk leads to Lac de la Moucherolle and the Fauge valley.
This hike allows you to discover a multitude of landscapes ranging from a mineral world to pastures and forests with beautiful panoramic views of the entire northern Vercors.
Cabane de la Peyrouse - Cabane des Aiguillettes
Day3 of our traverse: setting off from the Cabane de la Peyrouse to reach Gresse en Vercors. We go round the Grand Veymond to climb back up onto the plateau via the Col des Bachassons (water), then stop at the Cabane de l’Aiguillette.
Fauge Shelter - Jasse du Play Shelter
This is the longest stage of this traverse, but also the one that marks the entrance to the high plateaus.
Roybon Hut – La Peyrouse Hut
Day2 of a traverse of the Vercors via the balcony path.
Gresse en Vercors - Pas des hollowed-out tree trunks serving as drinking troughs
The first stage starts at Champ de l'Herse and goes to Pas des Bachassons. It passes by the Brisou ridge, offering a first panoramic view. There is a climb of over 1,000 metres, but you will be rewarded by the beauty of Pas des Bachassons.
Jasse du Play shelter - Pré Peyret hut
The fourth stage of this crossing is also the least physically demanding. Very flat and short, it takes you across vast meadows. But you can spice it up with the Grand Veymont option.
Clelles - Ferme du Désert
The first day is a long one, starting at the foot of Mont-Aiguille with alternating steep climbs and gentler passages through mountain pastures and forests.
Cabane des Aiguillettes - Corrençon-en-Vercors
The fourth and final day of the circular route leading from the L'Aiguillette hut at the foot of the Grand Veymont to the car park at the Corrençon-en-Vercors ski stadium, where we will have left a car.
Pic Saint-Michel via the Vertige des Cimes
A very classic route that takes you to four remarkable viewpoints in succession, offering views of Grenoble and its valley, as well as the Vercors plateau, the Rocher de l’Ours and the Roc Cornafion. It’s a hike you should do at least once if you’re in the area.
Ideally, you should take two cars up and leave one at the finish, which is at the Parking des Barnets, two hairpin bends below the start point at the Lans-en-Vercors resort.
