Furon (rivière) walks

This easily accessed summit is located on a ridge between the "Vallée de la Gresse" and the Vercors plateau. It offers a breathtaking view on Belledonne, Les Rousses and a bit further Les Ecrins.

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

One of the peaks bordering the Vercors Regional Park to the east. Relatively easy to access, in good weather it offers a wide panorama from Mont Blanc on your left to the Écrins massif via the Belledonne chain. The climb via the Combe Oursière is less frequented than via Les Allières. A well-shaded route for most of the way.

More of a walk than a hike, this double loop allows you to discover the large Allières plateau above Lans-en-Vercors. The route is clearly marked with signs at the various crossroads and is a great outing in winter for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

A beautiful, very easy and enjoyable circular route at the foot of Pic Saint-Michel and close to the cross-country ski trails of the Lans-en-Vercors resort.

We will climb up to the La Molières plateau, which we will cross to reach the ridge and return via the ridge, with several beautiful viewpoints.

A fairly long circular route (20 km in reality) which takes you up the classic Moucherotte climb, but descends via the Pas de la Tinette, Les Jeux and Les Traverses, which are less well known. The return from Lans-en-Vercors to Saint-Nizier is via a new, well-marked and well-maintained path, which keeps hikers away from the road.

A wild hike along the Roche Rousse trail, which is not marked on maps and therefore ideal for peace and quiet, takes you to the Dôme du Peuil. From there, a short climb via the Pas de la Loze will take you to the more popular Molière plateau, where you can enjoy a superb panorama of the Grenoble mountains. The Pas de l'Ours will take you to the Charande ridge, an ideal vantage point for watching the sunset over the Vercors. The return journey is via an easy path through the woods.

Forest route to reach the Durand farm overlooking the Isère valley.

This “unpretentious” route near Grenoble allows you to explore the foothills of the Northern Vercors via paths that are mostly not “muddy” and therefore passable even after heavy rain. With a highest point below 1,200m, it can usually be tackled even in winter without snowshoes (unless, of course, there has been recent and heavy snowfall). Several extensions involving longer distances and greater elevation gains are possible.

Explore the Gorges du Furon from Sassenage, via the Chemin des Cuves and, a little further up, the Pont Charvet (Resistance memorial). Do not attempt in wet weather: very steep paths for 2 hours with an 800-metre elevation gain. After that, the route via Engins and back to Sassenage is straightforward.

A circular route starting from Lans-en-Vercors, with an immediate climb to the little-known Combe du Crêt. This route, which is straightforward to follow, is ideal for exploring the mid-altitude areas of Lans-en-Vercors. You pass through Les Allières and La Sierre, returning to Lans-en-Vercors via the picturesque hamlet of Les Jeux.

This is a trek across the Vercors via the high plateaus, the wildest and most unspoilt part of the Vercors. From the north to the south of the Vercors, an 88km hike through spectacular landscapes. You’ll be camping in tents or in the various shelters lining theGR®.

The second stage of the Vercors crossing, offering stunning views of the Vercors villages.
