Serre Plumé via the Pelouse de Bournette at the start of the Col de la Chau.

A magnificent hike that subtly combines forest and meadow passages. You walk and pass easily from one path to a forest track, or vice versa, thanks to the numerous signposts.
As for the views, you can choose between the entrance to the Pelouse de Bournette, the bird's eye view of the Scialets Royer, the view of the Combe de Loscence and the fabulous 360° view from the summit of Serre Plumé.
This is an easy hike, with only the start of the climb to the summit of Serre Plumé reminding you that you are on a mountain hike.
Tour of Font d'Urle via Col de Font Payanne and Puy de la Gagère
From Les Cerisiers, the hike follows the GRP® Tour du Vercors Dromois, then the GR®93 to the village of Font d'Urle. The climb up to Puy de la Gagère takes you through a pretty deciduous forest. Near the village of Font d'Urle, the route takes the Sentier du Karst (not very well signposted) and climbs up to the viewpoint: the GPX track will be very useful, as there are many paths with no signposts. The hike continues along the edge of the cliff via the Pas du Follet. After a final, slightly steep climb, head back towards Puy de la Gagère to return to the starting point, following the same path in reverse. With a bit of luck, you may spot marmots and eagles on the Font d'Urle plateau, as well as sheep, cows and horses grazing in the pastures.
The ridges of Font D'Urle

A relatively easy short hike on the Font d'Urle plateau. Magnificent scenery on the Ambel plateau, the Quint valley, the Trois Becs, the Glandasse, the Vercors mountain range and the whole of southern Drôme.
Roche du Mas

The Cols de Vassieux offer breathtaking views of the Marignac en Diois valley, Die, the Col du Rousset, the Glandasse, the Grand Veymont and the entire chain up to the Pic Saint-Michel above Villard-de-Lans and the Chironne rocks. Breathtaking ravines, flowers and butterflies everywhere, a marvel and, as a bonus, the passage of griffon vultures reintroduced to the region!
Karstic cave Royer via Serre Plumé

Out of curiosity, I mapped out this route when I discovered that a karstic cave bears the same name as me. This route winds through the Lente forest and offers beautiful views of the Vassieux en Vercors valley and the Grand Veymont. And for those with a sweet tooth, you can enjoy wild raspberries, wild strawberries and, more rarely, blueberries along the way.

If you want to see the Col de Rousset from a different angle, take this hike, which follows a magnificent path carved into the mountainside, with a via ferrata above if you feel so inclined. This path was used by mule drivers to reach Vassieux via the Col de Chironne.
You will also admire the magnificent Chironne rocks overlooking the Chamaloc valley.

Return via the path overlooking the Diois valley, via the But de l'Aiglette and the Rochers de Chironne.
