Roissard walks
The Belvédères de la Roche and Côte Rouge
Starting from Col de Fraisse above Monestier-de-Clermont, visit two viewpoints: La Roche, which overlooks Lake Monteynard, and Côte Rouge, facing the famous Mont Aiguille. On the way, pass by the beautiful beech tree called Arbre à Mimi.
Circuit around the Côte Rouge viewpoint
I suggest a new hike, perfect for a half-day, with a magnificent viewpoint at the summit of Côte Rouge.
Côte Rouge circuit from the Col du Fau
This is a beautiful, easy walk offering panoramic views of the Trièves basin and the surrounding peaks.
The route and description were modified on 21 April 2022.
Circuit via the Pas du Berlioz, the Brion Bridge and the Ébron footbridge
A short route to get your legs moving as soon as the weather turns fine. No particular difficulty and some lovely views of the mountains surrounding the Trièves!
Brion Bridge and Ébron footbridge
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 my other hike: Drac footbridge hike.
I do not recommend this hike for people who are afraid of heights or have a phobia of falling!
Himalayan footbridges of Monteynard
This is a hike that starts with a ferry crossing.
The objective is to take the two elegant bridges.
The first bridge crosses the Drac.
The second bridge crosses the Ebron.
Satisfactory markings.
Tour du Goutaroux
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.
The Drac footbridge
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.
This hike is not recommended for people who are afraid of heights or have a phobia of falling.
Footbridge over the Drac from Mayres-Savel beach
A superb, quick walk to the Drac footbridge, along the north bank of the river of the same name, south of Lake Monteynard. Beautiful views of the lake and river, until you cross the Himalayan footbridge before returning.
Circular route via the Pas du Serpaton, the Rocher du Baconnet and the Roc de Cognière
Above Gresse-en-Vercors, starting from the Serpaton car park, a circular route towards the Rocher de Baconnet and the Roc de Cognière.
It offers stunning views:
- to the west over the Gresse Valley and Le Grand Veymont,
- to the south over Mont Aiguille,
- to the east over Monestier-de-Clermont with the A51 tunnel and viaduct, Lake Monteymard, the Corniche du Drac, the Écrins and the Dévoluy.
Circular Monestier-de-Clermont starting from Saint-Paul-lès-Monestier
This is a relatively easy short hike that will allow you to discover beautiful views of the eastern slope of the Vercors, the Obiou massif and the Gresse valley as far as Grenoble and the Chartreuse. You will also discover the mountain habitat of this part of the Isère as you pass through the small hamlets towards Saint-Paul-lès-Monestier.
Grisail and Ponsonnanche circular loop
A charming, easy walk offering beautiful views of the surrounding peaks. In spring, you’ll enjoy the sound of the streams flowing down from the mountains.
The Tour du Mont Aiguille
This superb ship, isolated from the main Vercors mountain range, remains docked and admired by all, especially its majestic bow, which dominates the villages of Trézanne and Richardière.
Le Goutaroux from Trézanne
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.
Rocher de Pansaret and Tête de Gaudissard circular loop
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.
