Departure from Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors (Drôme)
This hike takes you across the Gauras meadows to admire the entire range of the Vercors high plateaus and its highest peak, the Grand-Veymont. To enjoy these panoramic views, you’ll need to climb the beautiful Gauras track and cross a magnificent beech forest dotted with silver firs. The descent is equally magical. Starting in the forest, the landscape then becomes spectacular as you approach the Col Naturel.
