This place of passage serves as an entry to the Hauts-Plateaux du Vercors.
Throughout the trail, in the middle of the stones, the view of the Écrins is marvelous. Remember to watch where you put your feet.

October 13, 2025,Vercors II: Tour auf den Grand Veymont

On the second day, the first morning in the chalet, the weather looks good, so we set off on the must-do hike of the holiday: the Grand Veymont, which is practically right on our doorstep.

It's the highest mountain in the Vercors (although some smart-asses might say: "not the highest in the nature park...")
