Château-Bernard walks

Make no mistake, this short circuit is a real hike. The climb is steep in places but fortunately short, and the passage over the Ferrière ridge is a real treat (you are almost directly above the Gresse valley and the village of Miribel Lanchâtre). The view from the summit is well worth the detour.

A vertiginous and rarely-taken loop, where you come across ibexes and chamois at every hairpin bend. Make sure you always have a helmet (ibexes love to send stones flying), as well as crampons and an ice axe until late in the season, as névés remain in place fairly long within the steep Serre-Brion couloir. It is best to start your hike early in the morning so that snow is still hard when reaching this couloir.

A hike that visits one of the 7 Wonders of Dauphiné.

This easy half-day circuit takes you from the bottom of the Gresse valley to the Miribel-Lanchâtre plateau, passing by one of the seven wonders of the Dauphiné: the Fontaine Ardente. On the plateau, there are some beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

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.

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.

This short hike will allow you to discover this part of the Trièves. First, at the highest point, you will enjoy a magnificent 360° view of the Vercors, the Obiou and the western slope of the Senepy.

A very pretty, easy hike that can be done as a round trip with the family.

A pleasant, easy family walk through clearings and forests, at the gateway to the Hauts-Plateaux Nature Reserve. A renowned Nordic site, with an 18-hole golf course, a roller ski track, a professional shooting range and numerous marked trails, this area is a delight for hikers, golfers, biathletes, mountain bikers and runners alike.

Leaving Corrençon, you will reach the Crête des Rochers de la Balme via theGR® trail at the start, then via a steeper climb to the summit.

This fairly varied loop between Corrençon and Herbouilly (two of the gateways to the Nordic ski area with Bois Barbu) takes you along wide forest tracks and more peaceful forest paths. In places (at the start and finish), it runs alongside the golf course and roller ski tracks. It reaches its highest points at Pas de l'Âne and Pas de la Sambue. It passes the Roybon inn and the Herbouilly cross-country ski centre before taking the Pas Saint-Martin path and crossing the Herbouilly plain. On the way back, don't miss the view of the Grande and Petite Moucherolle, the Tête des Chaudières and the ski slopes of Villard-de-Lans and Corrençon-en-Vercors.

A beautiful, uncrowded summit, reached by climbing up a wild valley and a path off the trail.

A trail at the gateway to the Vercors plateaus, with the outward journey on theGR®91and the return via La Coinchette. Most of the route is through woodland, offering views of the Vercors ridges from Darbounouse. The return journey is partly off the beaten track, before rejoining the forest paths via the Baraque Guillet, Les Auberges and La Fleur du Roy.

Halfway between the North Pole and the equator, this is a fun route for everyone. It is possible to do it on a mountain bike, but be careful in the second part.

A short hike, mainly through the woods, to discover some of the geological curiosities of the Vercors: the Corrençon-en-Vercors glacier and the Barre aux Chèvres (natural cavities carved out of the limestone by water). With some beautiful panoramic views from the eastern balcony of the Vercors

Although located within a ski resort, this circular route avoids deforested and lunar landscapes as much as possible. The ascent is mostly through forest on little-used tracks. The crossing of the north-west ridge is superb, culminating in the magnificent Arche de la Fenêtre. The aerial descent of the east ridge leads to the Col des Deux Sœurs.The return journey to the Pas de l'Œil is via a little-used path that continues along the foot of the Gerbier ridges. Via the Combe Charbonnière, the route joins theGR®®91, which takes you back to the Balcon de Villard.

From Gresse-en-Vercors, via the Pas du Serpaton, access to the Rocher du Baconnet via the ridges offers a 360° panorama of the cliffs of the Vercors barrier to the west, mont Aiguille to the south, the Dévoluy and Écrins massifs to the east, and the Chartreuse and Belledonne massifs to the north.

This easy hike starts from La Ville, a hamlet or district of Gresse-en-Vercors, on the edge of the ski resort, and offers beautiful views of the cliff chain to the west of Gresse-en-Vercors, as well as Mont Aiguille when you reach the Col de l'Allimas. Having done this walk in June, the flora was lush and it was a real treat.

This is a beautiful, easy walk offering panoramic views of the Trièves basin and the surrounding peaks. The route and description were modified on 21 April 2022.

A challenging hike with the ascent of the second highest peak in the Vercors, the Grande Moucherolle (2,284 m).

Climb from the very pretty spot called Les Clots towards the Col Vert and descend via the Combe Charbonnière, a scree slope that is a little tricky to navigate. View of the Belledonne massif from the Col. This allows you to get a good view of the Vercors landscapes and enjoy the variety of the mid-mountain terrain. Not to be attempted in winter! Between 6 and 7, there is a high risk of avalanches, especially towards the Combe de la Charbonnière.

You start from a place called Les Clots and head to the magnificent Vallon de la Fauge. At the bottom, you climb up the Combe Charbonnière, reach the Pas de l'Œille and look out over Prélenfrey at 1,960 m and the Lac de Notre-Dame de Commiers on the Grenoble valley side. The return route passes through Grande Combe, offering spectacular views, and follows the tracks down to 1,350 metres. You return to Les Clots via L'Aversin. A feast for the eyes, sometimes with chamois!

A walk of discovery from Vercors in a loop between the cliffs, forest and meadow. Small height change.

A beautiful loop around Grand Veymont starting from the bottom of the Gresse-en-Vercors slopes. Breathtakingly beautiful scenery throughout the hike. All the paths are well-marked GR® trails, so it's impossible to get lost!

The highest point in the Vercors at 2341 m, the Grand Veymont offers 360° panoramic views.

A magnificent hike offering fabulous views. The Chartreuse to the north, the Dévoluy to the south and the long eastern barrier of the Vercors with Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymont.

A walk, rather than a hike, through the Herbouilly forest to a distinctive rock, the Vierge du Vercors.

This beautiful loop trail starts at La Conversaria, a hamlet in Villard-de-Lans. The trail through the woods climbs to the Roybon Refuge and then up rocky slopes to the Col Vert. It crosses to the opposite side to follow the eastern ridge of the Vercors. Along the way, a winding trail climbs the slope below the Roc du Cornafion. A short climb takes you to the ridge of the secondary summit, then through a gap to the summit, where you can enjoy a magnificent, vertiginous panorama. The return to the eastern balcony of the Vercors is in the opposite direction. The trail reaches the Col de l'Arc and drops down the western slope to the starting point.Please follow the recommendations in the practical information carefully.

The Gobert trail is very popular with hikers for its rich flora, which can be discovered all along the way between the Pic Saint-Michel crossroads and the Roybon hut. This almost horizontal section also offers a remarkable view of the Vercors plateau between Lans-en-Vercors and Villard-de-Lans.

This hike will take you along the Sentier Gobert, famous for its rich flora, which is in full bloom during June and July. This mountain trail also offers splendid views of the Lans-en-Vercors plain and Villard-de-Lans.

After crossing the Herbouilly plain, this circuit climbs up to the Pas de la Sambue and then joins the Château Julien plateau via the Malaterre karstic cave. Nestled in the heart of the northern Vercors, it offers a glimpse of a key site of the Resistance and the karstic landscape of the Vercors. Superb view from the Château Julien viewpoint.

A short circuit to warm up your legs as soon as the good weather arrives. No particular difficulty and some beautiful views of the mountains surrounding the Trièves!

I suggest a new hike, perfect for a half-day, with a magnificent viewpoint at the summit of Côte Rouge.

A superb, quick walk to the Drac footbridge, along the north bank of the river of the same name, south of Lake Monteynard. Beautiful views of the lake and river, until you cross the Himalayan footbridge before returning.
