Château-Bernard walks
Crête de la Ferrière and Pré Playnet
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.
Col des 2 Sœurs - Grande Moucherolle - Sophie - Pas de l'Œille circular
This magnificent figure-eight route combines the ascent of Grande Moucherolle, the second highest peak in the Vercors, with the crossing of two challenging passes and the discovery of the Rocher des Deux Sœurs ridges.
This hike includes two short climbing sections (less than 5 metres each), which are not particularly difficult but are exposed. A good quarter of the route is on poorly marked paths, requiring a good sense of direction even though orientation is easy.
Marmots and ibex are on the menu.
Pas de la Balme
This beautiful hike takes you to one of the passes of the Vercors and offers an exceptional view of the Petite Moucherolle and Grande Moucherolle, which dominate Corrençon and Villard de Lans on the other side.
A loop through the Serre-Brion and Morta passes starting from Bourgmenu
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.
Ferrière and Jonier ridges from Miribel-Lanchâtre
A ridge trail offering beautiful views of the eastern Vercors, Dévoluy and Trièves.
Pas de l'Œille
A challenging hike that takes you over one of the passes on the eastern edge of the Vercors.
The final climb is difficult. Please be careful
The Flaming Fountain circuit
A hike that visits one of the 7 Wonders of Dauphiné.
La Petite Moucherolle from Clos de la Balme
The ascent of Petite Moucherolle involves a short climb but is not technically difficult.
Cabins at Combe du Fer and Serre du Play, circular trail
A hike through the forest and across the sharp limestone pavement, in the realm of the Vercors cave explorers, off the beaten track, with few markings and no signs.
The view opens up between the two huts, offering a spectacular view of the wild Vercors.
The climb to the Combe du Fer hut from the car park requires a GPS and a map (offline!) as there are many paths and the various junctions are not described here.
From the Corrençon-en-Vercors golf course to the Cabane de Carette
A very pretty, easy hike that can be done as a round trip with the family.
The Pas Ernadant circular via the Grand Pot
Pas Ernadant is located on the ridges of northern Vercors, between Rochers de la Balme and Rocher du Playnet. The start of the route follows theGR® 91 "Traversée du Vercors" to Cabane de Carette, then the unmarked and little-used route allows you to discover the wilder side of this region.
The Lautaret loop starting from Corrençon-en-Vercors
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.
Corrençon-en-Vercors - Le Pas Ernadant
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.
Corrençon loop via Herbouilly
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.
