Pas des Bachassons (1903m) walks

A pleasant circuit on the eastern flank of the Vercors, which will take you close to the Hauts Plateaux nature reserve and Mont Aiguille.

A hike with different viewpoints on three sides of Mont Aiguille and the Queyrie plain, known for its ancient Roman quarry and famous pruned tree.

A pleasantly varied loop between vegetation and rock, spiced up by the crossing of a scree slope and a passage with cables at Pas du Fouillet. To be done outside the snowy season.Return facing the imposing block formed by Mont Aiguille. CAUTION! The scree slope and Pas du Fouillet between points (3) and (5) are currently closed (July 2025). At point (3), continue straight ahead to reach the Pas des Bachassons via the Serres and Maupas ravines, point (6), from where you can reach the Cabane des Aiguillettes, point (6), for a picnic. Then, you will need to return to the Pas des Bachassons to continue the hike.

Starting from Col du Rousset, head towards the Queyrie valley, where you will find the ancient Roman quarries, the famous carved tree, and a breathtaking view of the Grand Veymont. This is a fairly long hike, but the landscapes are magnificent, and you may even see marmots and their young, as well as griffon vultures soaring in the sky.

A less popular summit than Grand Veymont, offering a bit of variety in the high plateaus of the Vercors. Breathtaking views, particularly of Mont Aiguille, which dominates the entire start of the hike and part of the return journey. Marmots, ibex and choughs will be there to greet you after the ascent of Pas du Fouillet. Dogs are strictly prohibited on this hike as it is located in the Vercors high plateau nature reserve.

Starting from the Maison Forestière de la Coche, in a magnificent setting, take a long tour of the Vercors highlands via the Plaine de la Queyrie, see the Roman quarries and the carved tree, and encounter (without disturbing them, of course) marmots, griffon vultures, edelweiss, etc., not to mention the herds.

A beautiful loop around Grand Veymont starting from the bottom of the Gresse-en-Vercors slopes. Breathtakingly beautiful scenery throughout the hike. All the paths are well-marked GR® trails, so it's impossible to get lost!
