Canyon des Gueulards
Departure from Omblèze (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.
The Dent de Moirans
Departure from Montaud (Isère) (Isère)
Easy walk on this “tooth” overlooking the Isère valley and offering an interesting view over the east foothills of Chartreuse.
Vercors Chatelus: Pas des Voutes, Pas de l'Allier
Departure from Châtelus (Isère) (Isère)
Very nice hike without any difficulty, with stunning views of the Pas des Voutes, Pas de la Charmate and Pas de l'Allier.
The Grand Veymont
Departure from Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors (Drôme)
A long hike across the Vercors Highlands ("Hauts Plateaux du Vercors"), to reach the Grand Veymont. Breath-taking view of the entire Vercors massif and Mont Aiguille.
A loop through the Serre-Brion and Morta passes starting from Bourgmenu
Departure from Saint-Andéol (Isère) (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.
The Vierge du Vercors via the Pas de Saint-Martin
Departure from Saint-Martin-en-Vercors (Drôme)
A walk of discovery from Vercors in a loop between the cliffs, forest and meadow. Small height change.
The Pic Saint Michel
Departure from Lans-en-Vercors (Isère)
This easily accessed summit is located on a ridge between the "Vallée de la Gresse" and the Vercors plateau. It offers a breathtaking view on Belledonne, Les Rousses and a bit further Les Ecrins.
Vallon de Combau - Tête Chevalière, Vercors
Departure from Treschenu-Creyers (Drôme)
A hike in Drôme and Isère, but starting from the Vercors drômois side.
The Vallon de Combau and the Tête Chevalière at 1951m. A panoramic view over the Trièves valley.
During the months of May and June, the Vallon du Combau is must-visit destination, where you can enjoy the flora and fauna, particularly marmottes.
A relatively easy hike up to the Pas de l'Essaure pass, then a little more difficult.
