Pour rappel la réglementation de la réserve naturelle des Hauts-Plateaux du Vercors impose les principales interdictions suivantes :
- chiens interdits même tenus en laisse
- Survol interdit à moins de 300m (donc drone, parapente interdits)
- Feu interdit
- Dérangement volontaire de la faune interdit (attention à ne pas déranger marmottes et bouquetins entre autres !)
- Cueillette interdite
- camping interdit mais bivouac autorisé de 17h à 9h
- dépôt de déchets interdit (y compris dans les cabanes-abris ouvertes à tous !)
Cette réglementation forte est nécessaire à la protection des espèces et des milieux qui occupent ce territoire sauvage et préservé !

A wonderful way to explore this site via its forest trails, sun-drenched meadows and breathtaking viewpoints. It’s an opportunity to push your boundaries. First, with the engraved stone marker that has marked the boundary between the territories of the Lord of Sassenage and the Bishop of Die since the early 17th century. Then, with a little extra effort, you can reach the boundary between the Drôme and the Isère on a round trip to the Col d’Herbouilly (alternative route: +2 hours return).
