Himalayan footbridges of Monteynard without the boat
9.05 mi
+2,956 ft
-2,982 ft
6h 45
Moderate
Departure from Mayres-Savel (Isère)
This walk is a variation on the classic tour of the Himalayan footbridges of Lake Monteynard, which does not require a boat trip (for a fee) to return to the starting point. In addition, this route takes you to the Pas du Berlioz (very beautiful view of the lake) and the Pont de Brion. It is hardly any longer than taking the boat, as you don't need to go all the way to the pier, which is quite far away. However, part of the route is a return trip.
The Baroness’s Trail
9.88 mi
+4,718 ft
-4,718 ft
10 hrs
Extremely difficult
Departure from Tréminis (Isère)
The scree from the summer of 2024 makes this route extremely difficult and demanding.
Brought back into the spotlight by Pascal Sombardier’s publications, the Sentier de la Baronne crosses the Petites Charances, a suspended balcony at the foot of the western face of the Dévoluy (stretching from the Grand Ferrand to the Obiou), above Tréminis.
It is a long and demanding route, not necessarily very technical, but one where you must take great care with every step.
The view stretches westwards, from the Chartreuse to Mont Ventoux, via the eastern face of the Vercors.

From Chichilianne to Clelles-Mens station
3.14 mi
+161 ft
-646 ft
1h 35
Easy
Departure from Chichilianne (Isère)
Chichilianne is a treasure trove of hikes towards the Vercors plateau. Once finished, some people take the train which stops at Clelles. But few hikers know that you can set off from Chichilianne or La Richardière and reach Clelles station in under two hours, walking alongside an irrigation canal for nearly three kilometres. This return walk to Clelles can also be taken in the opposite direction when you start your journey.
The Drac footbridge
5.72 mi
+1,621 ft
-1,617 ft
4h 00
Moderate
Departure from Mayres-Savel (Isère)
A circular hike to do when the boat is not crossing the lake (out of season) or if you want to take your time crossing the footbridges over two days. See the Pont de Brion and Ébron footbridge hike.

A superb circular route in the isolated enclave of south-eastern Vercors, on the border between Drôme and Isère.

Tour du Goutaroux
7.29 mi
+3,150 ft
-3,123 ft
6h 05
Moderate
Departure from Saint-Michel-les-Portes (Isère)
This is an ideal walk for spring or winter when snow makes the peaks inaccessible for hiking but the mid-mountain range remains clear. Le Goutaroux offers superb views of all the surrounding mountain ranges: Mont Aguille and Vercors, Trièves, the Alps as far as Grenoble and Chartreuse. This circular route is an alternative to the return trip from Trézanne.
Rocher de Pansaret and Tête de Gaudissard circular loop
4.82 mi
+2,470 ft
-2,467 ft
4h 20
Difficult
Departure from Saint-Martin-de-Clelles (Isère)
These two peaks offer a magnificent view of Mont Aiguille and its north-eastern spur, from which you are separated only by deep gullies. But these views have to be earned; the route is demanding, following paths that are sometimes overgrown and often very steep, and is only passable in dry weather. However, the effort required is fully rewarded.
Le Goutaroux from Trézanne
5.25 mi
+2,159 ft
-2,136 ft
4h 20
Easy
Departure from Saint-Martin-de-Clelles (Isère)
The tour of Mont Aiguille remains a classic, but to appreciate this "ocean liner", what could be better than gaining some height? The view is not only of Mont Aiguille, as from the summit of Goutaroux you have a 360° view: from Grenoble to Trièves, as far as Dévoluy on one side. From the Vercors ridges to the Chartreuse on the other side.

A hike starting from one of the hamlets of Lus-la-Crois-Haute (Les Amayères) that alternates between meadows, forests, balcony crossings and mountain pastures. A fairly short route with an elevation gain of only 480 m, but offering magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding mountains (Jocou, Rognon, Jagène, Pointe Feuillette, etc.).

And many other peaks that I'll leave you to guess.

Les Sucettes de Borne
6.64 mi
+2,123 ft
-2,113 ft
4h 55
Moderate
Departure from Glandage (Drôme)
This is an easy hike, whose main attraction is the superb site of the Sucettes de Borne, narrow, vertical rock formations several dozen metres high, defying the laws of gravity. The trails are very pleasant, with contrasting vegetation: on the south side, semi-Mediterranean with forests mainly populated by pine trees; on the north side, a beautiful mixed forest of fir and beech trees, with lots of boxwood.

8.60 mi
+4,498 ft
-4,501 ft
7h 50
Difficult
Departure from Lus-la-Croix-Haute (Drôme)
Starting from the legendary Jarjatte valley, this hike takes you to the rocky landscape of the Tête du Vallon Pierra via the Tête and Lac du Lauzon, nestled in its green setting, which is undergoing eutrophication. The landscapes criss-crossed by chamois and griffon vultures and the views are breathtaking.
A small part of the route is off-trail, but on obvious terrain, and the only real difficulty is the elevation gain of over 1,000 metres.

+4,560 ft
-4,544 ft
7 hrs
Extremely difficult
Departure from Lus-la-Croix-Haute (Drôme)
A magnificent circular route around the Cirque du Fleyrard, passing by the Tête de Plate Longue and the highest peak in the Vercors Natural Park, the Rocher Rond, 2453m.
From the Col de Charnier, the route is completely off-trail, with herds of chamois being the main encounters. A short 3c climbing section with a slight overhang, sharp ridges and exposed slopes on very steep scree justify the level of difficulty.
