A beautiful walk typical of northern Vercors, with a section along the ridge offering numerous views of the Isère plain from the edge of the impressive cliff. Beautiful passages through rugged karsts, beautiful mixed forests, with some fine specimens of trees. Two interesting sites commemorating the actions of the Vercors Maquis.

The route leading to the Bec de l’Orient via the Pas Brochier is relatively quiet, unlike the Pas de la Clé, which we will take on the return journey. Although this hike is at a moderate altitude, taking place deep in the forest on the northern slope of the Vercors mountain range, it remains pleasant even in the height of a heatwave. From the viewpoint at the Bec de l'Orient cross, try to make out the route through the woods and the climb to the Pas Brochier.
This route includes exposed sections that may cause discomfort for those prone to vertigo; it must be avoided at all costs in wet weather due to the risk of slipping.

A nice circular walk from the parking place at the Geve Plateau. There is a diversion to La Glaciere, which is a cave system, and a shorter diversion to Cabane 44, which was used by the resistance during WWII. The views from the ridge are great.

Departure from Lans-en-Vercors (Isère)
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.
