In a few words

This multi-day hiking trip in the Vercors offers an exceptional journey through the heart of a wild and preserved massif, from the unmissable Mont Aiguille , a mythical silhouette rising towards the sky, to the southern reaches of the Vercors , on the border between Isère and Drôme .

Day after day, the trails lead you along vertiginous limestone cliffs before opening onto the peaceful immensity of the Vercors High Plateaus , one of the largest protected natural areas in France. Here, hiking takes on a rare dimension: silence , solitude , and wide-open spaces set the pace of the walk, far from the beaten track.

The landscapes are constantly changing, alternating between pine forests , open alpine pastures, and sweeping horizons, offering total immersion in an authentic and untamed Vercors . This trek also provides an opportunity to observe iconic wildlife : ibex , vultures , and sometimes the majestic bearded vulture soaring above the cliffs.

The varied and challenging routes are aimed at experienced hikers , capable of making a daily effort of 6 to 8 hours of walking , in a demanding and deeply restorative natural environment.

The highlights

  • Total immersion in vast, unspoiled spaces between cliffs, alpine pastures and forests
  • Challenging hike for experienced walkers seeking adventure
  • Small group of 5 to 7 people maximum for a more convivial atmosphere and personalized attention.
