Departure from Lus-la-Croix-Haute (Drôme)
A magnificent circular route around the Cirque du Fleyrard, passing by the Tête de Plate Longue and the highest peak in the Vercors Natural Park, the Rocher Rond, 2453m.
From the Col de Charnier, the route is completely off-trail, with herds of chamois being the main encounters. A short 3c climbing section with a slight overhang, sharp ridges and exposed slopes on very steep scree justify the level of difficulty.

Departure from Agnières-en-Dévoluy (Hautes-Alpes)
Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94.
For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route.
This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking.
The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.
