Hello,
This route is very good, though it’s of moderate difficulty, as there’s a fair climb to tackle before reaching the Col de la Croix des Adrets or the Col d’Hurtières.
However, as we’re not from the area, at this point you come to a junction where two roads meet (near a small house on the corner of these two streets) and there are no signs or markings. This is the only such spot. As a result, we extended the route by about 1.5 km, passing through Les Adrets – Villard-le-Château – Col des Ayes – Les Ayes to reach Les Berts, instead of heading to Villard-Bernard. Otherwise, it’s a very lovely route.

You can extend the walk by just under 1.5 km by walking around the Crêt de la Couan. At the Col de Theys, simply take the path on the right instead of heading back down to the starting point via the road. You’ll pass successively through views of the Theys valley, the Graisivaudan valley and the Hurtière valley. In mid-season, the descent towards Hurtière, with the sun setting over the Vercors, is very idyllic.

Hello,
An interesting route thanks to the beauty of the scenery. However, the route isn’t very well signposted, but as mentioned above, Visorando isn’t responsible for the signposting – though we did have a sat-nav. Far too many tarmac sections. Thanks for the suggestion!
