Mont Barral walks
Le Jocou from the Col de Menée
I recommend a very beautiful route to reach the summit of Jocou from the Col de Menée. This route mainly follows ridgelines (via Mont Barral) on the border between the Diois and Trièves regions, offering stunning panoramic views of the Vercors, Dévoluy and Écrins massifs.

Gresse en Vercors - Pas des hollowed-out tree trunks serving as drinking troughs
The first stage starts at Champ de l'Herse and goes to Pas des Bachassons. It passes by the Brisou ridge, offering a first panoramic view. There is a climb of over 1,000 metres, but you will be rewarded by the beauty of Pas des Bachassons.
Jasse du Play shelter - Pré Peyret hut
The fourth stage of this crossing is also the least physically demanding. Very flat and short, it takes you across vast meadows. But you can spice it up with the Grand Veymont option.
