Departure from Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors (Drôme)
Starting from Col du Rousset, head towards the Queyrie valley, where you will find the ancient Roman quarries, the famous carved tree, and a breathtaking view of the Grand Veymont.
This is a fairly long hike, but the landscapes are magnificent, and you may even see marmots and their young, as well as griffon vultures soaring in the sky.

Departure from Saint-Michel-les-Portes (Isère)
A long and beautiful hike, like an orienteering game, in search of huts (shepherds’ or hikers’) and precious springs on the Vercors High Plateaus. Fabulous scenery guaranteed. The highlight, undoubtedly the most beautiful natural site on the Hauts Plateaux, is the Plaine de la Queyrie, where I’d love to be reincarnated as a marmot, with its carved tree and its stunning Roman quarry.
