Departure from Gresse-en-Vercors (Isère)
This walk, the route of which (fully signposted with red and yellow markers) is largely shaded, is particularly pleasant in hot weather. It is strongly advised against undertaking this walk in winter, as the first section runs alongside the Brisou stream on hillsides that are very steep in places. Furthermore, some streams, which are dry in summer, may not be crossable in winter. This is not a family walk suitable for young children!
