Ridges of the Northern Vercors
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.
Follow the GR®9 to the Tunnel du Mortier, climbing via Plénouze
This hike takes you along the ridges to the north-east of the Vercors, partly following theGR®9.
You will climb via the Route Forestière des Pichières to reach Plénouze and theGR®9, which you will follow westwards to La Sure, then descend along the Tunnel du Mortier.
La Draye des Communaux and La Sure
A physically demanding and challenging circular route just a few minutes from Grenoble. After climbing the Draye des Communaux, the route passes through the magnificent interlacing of sharp limestone pavement at the Gouffre Berger, then leads to the summit of La Sure, where the view of Mont Blanc, the Chartreuse, Belledonne and Grenoble is as striking as the sheer drop below the cliff.
We then head towards La Buffe (optional) and return via the (disused) Mortier tunnel.
Only to be attempted in very dry weather!

Crossing the Montagne des Quatre Seigneurs
There are countless route options in this forested area on the outskirts of the Grenoble conurbation, delighting both walkers and mountain bikers alike. The advantage of this route, linking the village of Saint-Martin-d’Uriage to Eybens, is that it offers varied views, first of the Belledonne massif and then of the “capital of the Alps”, dominated by the Vercors and the Chartreuse.
