Hiking Trail : Par les croix bleue et rouge

Description

This pleasant hike alternates differents roads in forest or sandy roads and view on Vercors. From the square, take the slightly uphill road opposite the town hall. Follow this road for 1km to the Combe de Chaloray sign (alt. 277m). Turn right onto the road which climbs for 200m, then keep left to pass the stone farmhouse. Continue on the grassy track, then climb right on the path through the oak trees. Leave the woods, pass a building and join the track which rises to the right. Follow the track for 300m, then turn left at the Combe de Pelorset post (alt. 345m) and climb left to the blue cross. At the cross, continue left up to a farm. Beautiful panoramic view of the entire Vercors range. Behind the farmhouse, go straight up the path into the Bois de la Garde. Continue along this path until you reach an intersection some 600 m further on. Turn right onto the path leading downhill. Follow the main path to the bottom of the combe, then take the sandy track that leads to the Les Verrières crossroads (alt. 250m). At the post, turn left towards Chemin de St-Andéol. Follow the track for approx. 1km around the meadow (on your left).
Pass by a large stone house, continue on the main path to reach the road. Go straight on for about 300m, until you reach a large oak tree on your left. At the oak, leave the road and turn left onto the grassy path. Go down the undergrowth path to the right behind the red cross. At the bottom of the descent (approx. 800m further on), turn left at the Chemin de St-Andéol signpost (alt. 277m). 200m further on, you'll come to the Combe de Chaloray sign (alt. 277m), then return to the village by turning right up the road you took on the outward journey.
