Extremely difficult
Departure from Château-Bernard (Isère)
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.

Very difficult
Departure from Corrençon-en-Vercors (Isère)
There are several ways to reach the foot of the Grande Moucherolle, which is really the main attraction of this hike. This route takes you along the fastest slopes.
A superb, aerial hike, but not very technical or dangerous, with an approach via the ski slopes and, at the top, a breathtaking panorama.
Please note: this hike is classified as Very Difficult for an average hiker (IBP = 111) due to steep slopes and some exposed sections.

Departure from Lans-en-Vercors (Isère)
A very classic route that takes you to four remarkable viewpoints in succession, offering views of Grenoble and its valley, as well as the Vercors plateau, the Rocher de l’Ours and the Roc Cornafion. It’s a hike you should do at least once if you’re in the area.
Ideally, you should take two cars up and leave one at the finish, which is at the Parking des Barnets, two hairpin bends below the start point at the Lans-en-Vercors resort.
