Pas de la Couronne (1429m) walks

Stage4 sets off from the Cabane de Tubanet and returns to the high plateaus of the Vercors at the Cabane des Bachassons above Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors.A very long day. It is the longest of the tour.

Pastoral plateau, undergrowth, flower-filled meadow. A varied and very pleasant route offering the chance to encounter a rich and unspoilt flora. This route features a very steep descent for the return to Bouvante le Haut via the Col de Rioupeysson.

The route starts from the village of Bouvante-le-Haut with its distinctive double wash house. The climb up to the Ambel plateau takes you through a succession of refreshing forests, unique woodlands, flower-filled meadows and breathtaking scenery at the Col de la Bataille.

Second stage of the Omblèze circular route in the Southern Vercors. This mountainous stage begins with a long climb to the Pas du Grand Échaillon, which continues up the Ravin de Pissenible to reach the Col de la Bataille and its viewpoint. The path, which is almost level on the flank of the Roc de Toulau, then climbs to the panoramic viewpoint at the Croix d'Ambel, before descending after the Pas de Garde to the viewpoint at Pierre Plate and crossing through Omblèze. It climbs to the Col des Ayes and then continues to the Col d'Anse, from where it descends to the hamlet of Ansage before reaching the car park

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 second stage of our Corrençon–Ambel–Corrençon circular route set off from the Cabane de Pré Peyret towards the Col du Rousset and then on to the Cabane du Col de Vassieux.

The fifth and final stage of this journey through the Vercors. We set off to tackle the Glandasse, with superb views of the high plateaus, the Veymont, Mont Aiguille and the Drôme Provençale.

This is the third stage of this Vercors traverse. We’re now reaching the southern part of the Vercors plateau, where the terrain and vegetation make navigation very tricky, but the scenery becomes absolutely stunning!

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.

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!
