Departure from Omblèze (Drôme)
A lovely horse ride to explore the Plateau d'Ambel.
No particular difficulty; theGR® markings are very easy to follow.
A vast expanse of pastureland awaits at the summit, along with fantastic views all along the ridges.
Take care, however, in poor visibility (fog, rain), as there is a risk of not seeing the drop-off at the ridges and cliffs.

First stage of the circular route around Omblèze in the Southern Vercors. This route begins with a visit to the Chute de la Druise, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Vercors, which plunges 70 metres from the bottom of a narrow gorge. After passing through the Gervanne Gorge, you come to the charming little Pissoire Waterfall, followed by a crossing of the Gueulards Canyon, a unique geological feature that inspires both unease and delight, before reaching the small, isolated village of Léoncel and its 12th-century abbey, with its old-world charm, which offers hospitality in a discreet manner.

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.
