This is the 1st walk that I have used Visorando for and I was very impressed with the quality of the desctiption, the route map, directions and the starting point (lat & lon) which was absolutely 100% accurate.
The only thing that I would say is that this is marked as average although the walk has a very steep vertical climb which I think should be mentioned. I, on hindsight should have realised myself as the description does include the total height gained and also when I used Mapsource to get the route to my GPS, I also saw the altitude graph.
It is not a difficult walk and not easy so average is probably the best description but..
Overall - a very good walk and well done to the person who published it. 100% accurate and stunning views.

Starting point in Saint-Andéol (Isère) - 38 - Isère A vertiginous and rarely-taken loop, where you come across ibexes and chamois at every hairpin bend. Make sure you always have a helmet (ibexes love to send stones flying), as well as crampons and an ice axe until late in the season, as névés remain in place fairly long within the steep Serre-Brion couloir. It is best to start your hike early in the morning so that snow is still hard when reaching this couloir.

Starting point in Omblèze - 26 - Drôme A complete change of scene in this superb canyon between two narrow cliffs. An unusual place where a crevasse plunges into nowhere, with a peaceful and shady atmosphere between boulders, lichens and ferns.
