Ascent and descent of the highest point in the Vercors, via an off-trail route that is steep and wild. A beautiful hike, largely off unmarked trails, over steep to very steep slopes. You’ll need sure-footedness and a head for heights. A great way to escape the crowds and spot ibex.
Caution: steep off-trail ascent, scree. A short climbing section. The descent is even steeper and very exposed: falling is not an option.
