Circuit around the Côte Rouge viewpoint
I suggest a new hike, perfect for a half-day, with a magnificent viewpoint at the summit of Côte Rouge.
Himalayan footbridges of Monteynard without the boat
This walk is a variation on the classic tour of the Himalayan footbridges of Lake Monteynard, which does not require a boat trip (for a fee) to return to the starting point. In addition, this route takes you to the Pas du Berlioz (very beautiful view of the lake) and the Pont de Brion. It is hardly any longer than taking the boat, as you don't need to go all the way to the pier, which is quite far away. However, part of the route is a return trip.
Footbridge over the Drac from Mayres-Savel beach
A superb, quick walk to the Drac footbridge, along the north bank of the river of the same name, south of Lake Monteynard. Beautiful views of the lake and river, until you cross the Himalayan footbridge before returning.
Le Sénépy from Mayres-Savel
Le Sénépy and its exceptional panorama from Mayres-Savel via the ridges.
Circuit via the Pas du Berlioz, the Brion Bridge and the Ébron footbridge
A short circuit to warm up your legs as soon as the good weather arrives. No particular difficulty and some beautiful views of the mountains surrounding the Trièves!
Himalayan footbridges of Monteynard
This is a hike that starts with a ferry crossing.
The objective is to take the two elegant bridges.
The first bridge crosses the Drac.
The second bridge crosses the Ebron.
Satisfactory markings.
Le Goutaroux from Trézanne
The tour of Mont Aiguille remains a classic, but to appreciate this "ocean liner", what could be better than gaining some height? The view is not only of Mont Aiguille, as from the summit of Goutaroux you have a 360° view: from Grenoble to Trièves, as far as Dévoluy on one side. From the Vercors ridges to the Chartreuse on the other side.
The Tour du Mont Aiguille
This superb ship, isolated from the main Vercors mountain range, remains docked and admired by all, especially its majestic bow, which dominates the villages of Trézanne and Richardière.

The Cabane des Aiguillettes
A pleasantly varied loop between vegetation and rock, spiced up by the crossing of a scree slope and a passage with cables at Pas du Fouillet. To be done outside the snowy season.Return facing the imposing block formed by Mont Aiguille.

Having done this walk in June, the flora was lush and it was a real treat.
