Pierre Chauve walks
The Pas de Saint-Vincent, Pierre-Chauve and the Col de Tourniol
While the Pas de Saint-Vincent and Pierre-Chauve are classics in the area, the route described here is less so... You'll need strong legs to climb the 300 m ascent below the Pas, save some energy to reach the summit of Pierre-Chauve, and a good sense of direction to reach Tourniol... but what a treat for the eyes!
Pierre Chauve via Les Barraquands
A magnificent short hike on the Vercors plateaus, with a 360° view of the Valence plain and the village of Léoncel.
Pierre Chauve at the start of Les Vigouroux
A magnificent view of the Monts du Matin: the Rocher du Roi Gros Nez, the Montagne de l'Epenet, the Rochers des Deux Soeurs and the Barbières valley as far as Valence and Romans-sur-Isère.

From Léoncel to the Druise car park via the Croix d'Ambel
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
From the Druise Waterfall to Léoncel via the Gueulards Canyon
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.
