Engins walks

Among the many possible combinations on the Plateau de Sornin, this circular route allows you to go around it and soak up this area of the Vercors, while also taking in sites offering unobstructed views. The route is accessible in almost all seasons, with snowshoes if there is heavy snowfall.

A short loop offering a pretty passage through the Défilé du Coulou gorge to reach the Pas du Curé before descending to the Engins dam and then, following the Furon river, reaching the Pas de la Corne climb via theGR®9. Please note that there are some fairly technical sections in the Coulou Pass, with and without handrails. Please take great care It is not possible to complete the loop; see the notices

This beautiful hike on the Sornin plateau allows you to visit the large pylon overlooking the Isère valley at a place called La Dent du Loup.

Here is another route for climbing Moucherotte, a little more challenging than the one starting from Lans-en-Vercors. The elevation gain is a little greater and the mountain trail requires good footwear. The 360° panorama is just as sublime and the view over the Grenoble basin is just as impressive.

Climbing the Moucherotte via the east face from Saint-Nizier is a wild and little-known route. The return via the large ski jump (on foot, fortunately) is also unusual. Yellow and green markings, as well as white/red.

Climb up to the magnificent Moucherotte viewpoint by taking a circular route up the wild Pas de la Bergère and back down the 'normal' route to Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte.

This route is classified as a long walk, but it is a mini-circular that allows you to relax pleasantly in the mountain pasture surrounding the Molière lodge.

Ridge walk from Pas de Bellecombe to La Molière via the highest point of Charande. Numerous viewpoints over the Alps and the Chartreuse.

A short family walk offering excellent views for the effort. Best done on a day with good visibility. Please note: a hiker has informed us that in summer, at weekends, access to the plateau is restricted: you must take a shuttle bus (or a chairlift, which is quite far away).

In Vercors, discover sharp limestone pavements, wildlife and flora. Hike from La Molière towards the east via Le Sornin (medium mountain range).

Bucolic walk along the Bruyant, at the bottom of the gorges, before reaching the Moucherotte ridges via the Pas de la Bergère, which can be difficult in wet weather. Do this in this direction as the descent via the Pas de la Bergère can be difficult or even dangerous after rain. 300 m below the Cabane des Ramées (south), a path on the left in a meadow (cairn) leads to the Trou St Michel, a cave that emerges from the cliff (incorrectly located on the map)

Short hike in the Bruyant Gorges, with a beautiful view of the Furon Gorges at the Bec de l'Aigle.

This hike, which runs alongside the Furon and the Bruyant Gorges, will refresh you and take you to the Bec de l'Aigle viewpoint, where you can enjoy a remarkable view.

Walk through the Furon Gorges leading to the top of the village, where restaurants once welcomed Grenoble residents seeking coolness on Sundays. This short walk is very popular in hot weather, as the Furon area remains cool.

The perfect family walk: easy, fun, with trails that all lead to the same place, Pré Faure. This circuit is unique in that it passes through the "Désert Jean-Jacques Rousseau", worthy of the greatest romantics, climbs up to the Ferme Froussard, a historic site linked to the Resistance, and returns via a viewpoint offering a superb view of Grenoble and its valley. More challenging access from the town of Fontaine via the "Coup de Sabre"

A very easy route on the ridge separating the Autrans valley from that of Lans en Vercors.

A diverse hike: forests, ridges, vast panoramic views...

This hike offers numerous panoramic views of the Chartreuse, Belledonne and part of the Vercors, both along the ridge trail and the pleasant path that crosses the mountain pasture.

From the hamlet of Le Truc at the north-eastern entrance to the village of Autrans, you can access La Molière mountain and discover the Isère valley and the city of Grenoble through a gap in the mountain. Higher up, you will see all the mountains surrounding Grenoble and its region. Don't look for the "pas" (step) of the bear as a paw print because, here as is often the case in the mountains, "pas" is a diminutive of "passage" (passage).

A well-known local walk, presenting no difficulty. It takes you to the heights of Sassenage, as well as some pleasant neighbourhoods and the village centre. The "Batteries" are a defensive structure from the "iron belt" of the late 19th century: several battery emplacements, now empty of their artillery pieces. Find out about their former function.

A nice circular walk from the parking place at the Geve Plateau. There is a diversion to La Glaciere, which is a cave system, and a shorter diversion to Cabane 44, which was used by the resistance during WWII. The views from the ridge are great.

Starting from the Plateau de Gève, take a walk in memory of the British airmen who supplied the Maquis du Vercors resistance fighters.

A beautiful walk typical of northern Vercors, with a section along the ridge offering numerous views of the Isère plain from the edge of the impressive cliff. Beautiful passages through rugged karsts, beautiful mixed forests, with some fine specimens of trees. Two interesting sites commemorating the actions of the Vercors Maquis.
