Mens, the Sacrificial Stone
An easy walk, surrounded by peaks: Le Chatel, L'Obiou, Le Grand Ferrand, Les Deux Aiguilles, Le Jocou, Le Mont-Aiguille, Le Grand Veymont... All while passing through the villages of Trièves.
A fairly shaded walk, ideal in summer.
Le Châtel or Bonnet de Calvin
This hike ends on a plateau dominated by the Dévoluy's landmark mountain: the Obiou.
Longueville en Trièves loop
A short but very pleasant walk in the heart of the Trièves basin. You will have beautiful panoramic views of the many peaks that surround it. A walk that is particularly accessible to families.
The Ébron and the two mills
This walk in the heart of the Trièves region offers some beautiful panoramic views. You are surrounded by the peaks of Dévoluy and Vercors. The route mainly follows beautiful paths and, in part, small roads.
Circular route between Saint-Jean-d'Hérans and the Drac Gorges.
A beautiful variety of landscapes, beautiful views of the Drac gorges, the upper reaches of Lake Monteynard and, of course, the Vercors, Oisans, Obioux, etc.
Yellow markings will guide you along the way, and there are numerous hiking signs to help you find your way.
Le Sénépy from Mayres-Savel
Le Sénépy and its exceptional panorama from Mayres-Savel via the ridges.
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.
Wild balcony at Cordéac
Wild balcony above the village. Start gently on the Sentier des Pavés, then turn off towards the Ruisseau de Chalanne. This is where a small, very wild path begins, often in poor condition due to bad weather. The hike ends at the Bois du Permay and then Pierre Grosse.
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.
The Fétoure Cave
This cave is located at the foot of the majestic west face of the Petit and Grand Ferrand (700 m vertical drop).
With a view of the Triève and Vercors in the background.
See § Practical information.
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.
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!
Brion Bridge and Ébron footbridge
A circular hike to do when the boat is not crossing the lake (out of season) or if you want to take your time crossing the footbridges over two days. See my other hike: Drac footbridge hike.
I do not recommend this hike for people who are afraid of heights or have a phobia of falling!
Le Cimon from La Mure and back via Prunières
This hike, which is suitable for everyone, will take you along a Discovery Trail to a small peak overlooking the little town of La Mure. Crossing the meadows, you will then discover the surrounding mountains from the south of the Vercors to the Oisans via the Obiou. In Prunières, you will visit an old mining well where a magnificent fresco pays tribute to the miners. Paths and trails alternate between shaded and sunny passages.
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.
The Belvédères de la Roche and Côte Rouge
Starting from Col de Fraisse above Monestier-de-Clermont, visit two viewpoints: La Roche, which overlooks Lake Monteynard, and Côte Rouge, facing the famous Mont Aiguille. On the way, pass by the beautiful beech tree called Arbre à Mimi.
