Depart from the car park south of the village of Gresse-en-Vercors at the foot of the ski lifts.
(D/.A) Take the path towards Pas de la Ville. It climbs steeply to emerge above the forest in the mountain pastures. There is an almost permanent view of Grand Veymont. Continue in the open under the Pas de la Ville.
(1). At the signpost, continue up the signposted path (40 mins) to the Pas de la Ville.
(2) Magnificent view of the Vercors plateau, with the "Jasse de la Chau" visible opposite.
Turn left. Be careful, the path becomes rocky and airy, sometimes difficult to follow even if a few yellow marks are there to help. Next, make your way along a corridor leading to the final climb to the summit on the west side.
(3) Take the same route down to the crossroads of paths below the Pas de la Ville.
(1) Take the path on the right towards the Baraque Forestière du Veymont (25mn). Follow this pleasant balcony path, skirting "Le Grand Veymont" from below, passing 2 streams before joining a wide forest track.
(4) Follow the track for about 1km, then turn left onto a small, signposted path that cuts through the forest. Reach the start car park (S/E).
This path can also be taken uphill, but it will take around 2 hours to reach the crossroads of paths below Pas de la Ville.
