Departure from Gresse-en-Vercors (Isère)
A magnificent circular route on the Vercors High Plateaus. Access via the little-used Pas de Berrièves. Panoramic views to one side over the Chartreuse, the distant Mont Blanc, Belledonne, the Écrins and the Dévoluy. On the other side, views over the vast, wild expanse of the Vercors High Plateaus. The route passes two rare sights: the (not very productive) springs at Le Playe and La Chau. Return via the Pas de la Ville, where you might spot some ibex. You can buy organic cheese at the farm so you don’t go home empty-handed.

Departure from Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors (Drôme)
The hike to the Pas de Berrièves (1,887 m) offers an immersive experience of the wild heart of the Hauts Plateaux du Vercors Nature Reserve. You’ll pass through forests of mountain pine, high-altitude meadows and suspended scree slopes. At the summit, the view opens out, on one side, onto the vast, deserted expanse of the plateau, and, on the other, onto a barrier of cliffs, facing Mont Blanc and the Écrins . The area is ideal for spotting ibex, marmots and griffon vultures.

The second stage of the Vercors crossing. Less elevation gain than the previous day, but still a good distance. However, we’re now properly entering the Vercors plateau, and a map, a compass and a good sense of direction are essential, especially when it’s foggy!
