Tête de Gaudissart (1489 m) walks
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.

Cabane des Aiguillettes - Corrençon-en-Vercors
The fourth and final day of the circular route leading from the L'Aiguillette hut at the foot of the Grand Veymont to the car park at the Corrençon-en-Vercors ski stadium, where we will have left a car.
Clelles - Ferme du Désert
The first day is a long one, starting at the foot of Mont-Aiguille with alternating steep climbs and gentler passages through mountain pastures and forests.
Pas of hollowed-out tree trunks serving as drinking troughs
The second day takes you to the highest point of the route: Le Grand Veymont. It offers a magnificent view of the Vercors high plateaus, Mont Aiguille and the valley. There is a good chance of seeing ibex and marmots!
From Chichilianne to Clelles-Mens station
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.
Chichilianne - Bénevise via the Pas de l'Essaure and the Vallon Combau
This beautiful hike takes you to the Hauts Plateaux du Vercors National Nature Reserve via the Pas de l'Essaure, then down the Drôme side through one of the most beautiful sites in the Vercors, the Vallon Combau, before reaching the hamlet of Bénevise on a promontory.It offers beautiful views of Mont Aiguille, the valley and the Combau rock, a feast for the senses, combined with the historical, geological, botanical and faunal riches of the area you are crossing.
Gresse en Vercors - Pas des hollowed-out tree trunks serving as drinking troughs
The first stage starts at Champ de l'Herse and goes to Pas des Bachassons. It passes by the Brisou ridge, offering a first panoramic view. There is a climb of over 1,000 metres, but you will be rewarded by the beauty of Pas des Bachassons.
Pré Peyret Shelter - Chatillon-en-Diois
The fifth and final stage of this journey through the Vercors. We set off to tackle the Glandasse, with superb views of the high plateaus, the Veymont, Mont Aiguille and the Drôme Provençale.
Jasse du Play shelter - Pré Peyret hut
The fourth stage of this crossing is also the least physically demanding. Very flat and short, it takes you across vast meadows. But you can spice it up with the Grand Veymont option.
Cabane de la Peyrouse - Cabane des Aiguillettes
Day3 of our traverse: setting off from the Cabane de la Peyrouse to reach Gresse en Vercors. We go round the Grand Veymond to climb back up onto the plateau via the Col des Bachassons (water), then stop at the Cabane de l’Aiguillette.
