A hike in the heart of the Vercors to discover ibex (numerous and not shy in these mountains). And as a bonus on arrival, beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Col des 2 Sœurs - Grande Moucherolle - Sophie - Pas de l'Œille circular

8 hrs
Extremely difficult
Departure from Château-Bernard (Isère)
This magnificent figure-eight route combines the ascent of Grande Moucherolle, the second highest peak in the Vercors, with the crossing of two challenging passes and the discovery of the Rocher des Deux Sœurs ridges.
This hike includes two short climbing sections (less than 5 metres each), which are not particularly difficult but are exposed. A good quarter of the route is on poorly marked paths, requiring a good sense of direction even though orientation is easy.
Marmots and ibex are on the menu.

Departure from Villard-de-Lans (Isère)
An ideal hike for spotting ibex and magnificent scenery! The return via the resort could probably be improved by taking a different route to make this hike absolutely perfect!
Grande Moucherolle and Pas de l'Œille via the Pré de l'Achard

Very difficult
Departure from Le Gua (Isère) (Isère)
A very beautiful circular route allowing you to get up close to the ibex and, at times, to use your hands on the rocks leading to the Grande Moucherolle, the border between the Northern and Southern Vercors, whilst avoiding the ski runs.
The hike follows a path that is partly faint and sparsely marked with cairns, and even off-trail along the ridges, but the route is always clear.
The karst landscapes of the Pré de l'Achard are stunning and very quiet.

Extremely difficult
Departure from Villard-de-Lans (Isère)
Although located within a ski resort, this circular route avoids deforested and lunar landscapes as much as possible. The ascent is mostly through forest on little-used tracks. The crossing of the north-west ridge is superb, culminating in the magnificent Arche de la Fenêtre. The aerial descent of the east ridge leads to the Col des Deux Sœurs.The return journey to the Pas de l'Œil is via a little-used path that continues along the foot of the Gerbier ridges. Via the Combe Charbonnière, the route joins theGR®®91, which takes you back to the Balcon de Villard.
