About

A 175 km trek through the Vercors Massif, where limestone cliffs rise, and deep gorges whisper secrets of the Resistance. Eight stages of alpine meadows and ancient forests, with a total elevation gain of 4,673 metres. Start at Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, where the air is crisp, and the views are endless. Along the way, savor Raviole du Dauphiné and the creamy Saint-Marcellin. It’s not just a hike; it’s a journey through history and flavor, accessible year-round, but best from April to June or September to October.
