Departure from Glandage (Drôme)
A superb circular route in the isolated enclave of south-eastern Vercors, on the border between Drôme and Isère. The route combines the geological interest of the Sucettes de Borne, the flowers and wide open spaces of the Jiboui mountain pastures, and a long stretch along grassy ridges with extraordinary panoramic views.

Departure from Treschenu-Creyers (Drôme)
I recommend a very beautiful route to reach the summit of Jocou from the Col de Menée. This route mainly follows ridgelines (via Mont Barral) on the border between the Diois and Trièves regions, offering stunning panoramic views of the Vercors, Dévoluy and Écrins massifs.

The fourth and final stage of the Vercors crossing. We leave the plateau to descend via Chichilianne to the foot of Mont Aiguille. Choosing Clelles station as the end point for this crossing means you can do the whole thing from Grenoble, but it’s of course possible to arrange for a car to be waiting in Chichilianne before setting off.

Departure from Chichilianne (Isère)
Chichilianne is a treasure trove of hikes towards the Vercors plateau. Once finished, some people take the train which stops at Clelles. But few hikers know that you can set off from Chichilianne or La Richardière and reach Clelles station in under two hours, walking alongside an irrigation canal for nearly three kilometres. This return walk to Clelles can also be taken in the opposite direction when you start your journey.

This lovely walk allows visitors staying in Châtillon-en-Diois to reach Die on foot, passing through vineyards and walnut groves situated in the foothills of the Glandasse, the southern outcrop of the Vercors overlooking the Drôme valley and the Baronnies.
The route allows time to appreciate the uniformity of this geographical landscape, which characterises the upper Drôme and its tributary, the Bez.
