The Druise waterfall, an impressive 72-metre drop, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Vercors. The view from below is breathtaking: the high waterfall looks like a bridal veil, accompanied by a thunderous roar and a huge blast of air.
From Plan de Baix, follow the D578 towards the Gorges d'Omblèze. At the Moulin de la Pipe intersection (hotel, restaurant), turn right and follow the D578A for 1 km to reach the car park, turning right before the hamlet of Ansage.
(S/E) Take the winding path (yellow-green markings) and descend to the Gervanne river.
(1) Continue to the foot of the majestic Druise waterfall, which is 72 metres high.
(2) Return to the car park by following the same route you took on the way there (S/E).
Significant elevation gain, but the trail is well maintained.
When the water flow is high (in spring), the path at the foot of the waterfall may be flooded.
Omblèze Gorges.
Pissoire waterfall.

There are a lot of people, but the walk is still beautiful.
The approach, as close as possible to the waterfall, is done with your feet in the water.
However, you can also explore it while staying on dry land...
The site is pleasant and cool.
The climb back up may be difficult for some seniors.

A magnificent waterfall, but a victim of its own popularity, the site is crowded at weekends and during the holidays. It is best to go at the end of the day when the crowds have left. Otherwise, the path has been well laid out.

A beautiful hike to see the Druise Falls.
Unfortunately for us, there was too much water after the first waterfall, so we couldn't go to the second one (we weren't equipped to walk in the water). Too bad, the photos looked beautiful!!!

A route to do early in the morning during school holidays. We started the route at around 8:45 a.m. and there were few people around. However, when we returned at around 11:00 a.m., there were lots of people arriving.

Bring water shoes to access the waterfall, otherwise you'll end up barefoot walking on rocks of all shapes and sizes. It's a shame that some people treat the place as if it were their own garden! Otherwise, it's worth a visit.

A superb discovery full of freshness.
Not quiet as it is quite crowded.
It's best to go in the morning and outside of the summer season

We went on the walk despite the closure after meeting a local resident who explained that we had to stay on the path and not take any shortcuts to prevent the rocks from falling.
We were careful and were able to see the waterfall.
However, due to the water level and strong current, we did not go right up to the foot of the waterfall.

By municipal decree, the car park and access to the site are always closed because they are too dangerous :!(!)!::l
What a shame!
