The Vercors Barrier via the Pas Ernadant and Morta

Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Andéol (Isère) (Isère)
This hike in the superb eastern ridge of the Vercors begins in the small village of Saint-Andéol, ascending through the forest on the eastern slope, and via the Tour du Vercors trail, approaches the Pas Ernadant pass. The exposed climb is not technical, but takes place on loose rock. After passing a small exposed ledge, the path goes through a natural arch and reaches the ridges, via which it joins the Pas Morta. The route, although somewhat exposed, presents no difficulty. We rejoin the Tour du Vercors trail and, after a descent through scree and then through woodland, we reach the road leading back to the car park.
This route includes exposed sections that may unsettle those prone to vertigo; it must be avoided at all costs in wet weather due to the risk of slipping and fog rolling in.
