A very beautiful hike in southern Vercors that presents no particular difficulties. Panoramic views of the Vercors plateau, then views of the cliffs overlooking the Diois region where, with a little luck, you can admire vultures in flight. Please note s can be quite windy and temperatures cool, even in good weather.

A magnificent hike on a beautiful plateau in the Vercors, with the option of walking along the edge of the cliff or staying further back if you're afraid of heights or if the wind is strong, as it was for us. We saw a few vultures but no marmots, just their holes!

A magnificent hike to discover the high plateaus of the Vercors!
The view is incredible, between cliffs and mountain pastures ❤️.
Watch out for sheepdogs at the end of the trail; I had to make a big detour to avoid them.

A lovely climb through the woods via a scree slope and then up to the heights (be careful, the sun is strong). At the summit, there are magnificent 360-degree views of the mountains and some beautiful cliffs, which are really pleasant to look at and photograph. I also saw lots of eagles. The end of the descent is less interesting, but perhaps I had seen too many beautiful things before 😉

A very pleasant hike with magnificent views along the ridge. The rest of the route in the mid-mountains is also very beautiful with various valleys. We made the hike more challenging by starting from the Rousset resort and warming up with the climb up the red Cabri trail (2 km and 253 m elevation gain), which we did in Anvers, and returning from the car park to the resort by road (5 km). In total, 13.3 km and 498 m elevation gain
The weather was magnificent.

On this scorching hot day, we went hiking from 7pm to 9.30pm...
After a short climb over rocky terrain, the views were magnificent, enhanced by the sunset...
15 minutes alone with a little chamois... Pure bliss!
There weren't many people around as it was late in the day and very, very hot.
I had a wonderful time... It was hard to come back down!
Thank you to whoever invented this!
