La Rivière (Isère) walks

A walk along the ridges of the Northern Vercors starting from Montaud, above Voreppe. Little immediate elevation gain but a bit more on the ridges. Unobstructed views all the way.

The route leading to the Bec de l’Orient via the Pas Brochier is relatively quiet, unlike the Pas de la Clé, which we will take on the return journey. Although this hike is at a moderate altitude, taking place deep in the forest on the northern slope of the Vercors mountain range, it remains pleasant even in the height of a heatwave. From the viewpoint at the Bec de l'Orient cross, try to make out the route through the woods and the climb to the Pas Brochier. This route includes exposed sections that may cause discomfort for those prone to vertigo; it must be avoided at all costs in wet weather due to the risk of slipping.

From the village of Montaud, and more precisely from the hamlet of Le Coing, there is an interesting loop via the Fessole farm followed by a path along the edge of the Vercors cliffs.

As its name suggests, this peak in the Vercors is the easternmost point of the massif. It overlooks the Grenoble valley to the right and the Noyers valley to the left.

Please note: due to a major landslide, this hike is currently not possible. You start by walking along the Isère river through walnut trees. You then climb up the foothills of the Vercors, before returning via the Gaffe footbridge and the wild, steep-sided Gorgonnet gorges.

A beautiful hike on the northern ridges of the Vercors with breathtaking views of the Isère valley.

This walk offers a multitude of additional routes to vary according to your mood! This one is designed to satisfy the most curious: visit the Glacière, Pas de la Clé and Becs de l'Orient, with superb panoramic views over the entire Isère valley. A flower-filled, refreshing walk with panoramic views.

A fairly short and easy hike to see one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Vercors.This is a non-winter route! It follows the route of a number of cross-country ski trails, which are not accessible to hikers. In winter, please follow the snowshoe markings, which are different.

A wild hike starting from the Gève plateau in the magnificent Vercors forest. The route along the northern ridge of the Vercors offers breathtaking views of the Isère valley, the Grenoble conurbation, the Voiron area and the Chartreuse mountains.

This very easy circular is suitable for everyone in the following two cases:- to whet your appetite in the morning,- to aid digestion in the afternoonthis pleasant route on the wide tracks of the plateau, in the middle of the woods, offers a most enjoyable walk in all seasons.

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.

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

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.

This hike will take you into the charming Gorges du Gorgonnet. It is a family-friendly route. However, caution is advised. Although the trail is wide and comfortable, there are no guardrails in some places, so keep an eye on children. At the end of the gorges, they can enjoy a natural swimming pool with particularly clear (and cold) water.

There are many paths leading to the Dent de Moirans, a magnificent viewpoint over the Isère valley. The proposed circular route takes you up via the cliffs of the Rocher de la Fesse and then back down via the Combe, a more popular route.

Easy walk on this “tooth” overlooking the Isère valley and offering an interesting view over the east foothills of Chartreuse.

This trail is an invitation to walk through medieval, rural and geological history and enjoy the natural beauty of an Isère valley deeply rooted between the alluvial plain and the cliffs of the Vercors. A great getaway for the curious, families, hikers and heritage enthusiasts!

A lovely walk from Morette in the hills above Tullins. In the woods or on the hillsides, there are magnificent landscapes to discover along the trails. A nice climb in the direction we took it. It's easier in the other direction.
