Gravel Trail Through Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Probably one of the most beautiful sections in the region.
Recommended in 700x40 and more in the direction of the ascent than the descent.
In this way it allows you to penetrate the Vercors as it deserves, with poetry!
Starting from the gorges of Omblèze, and their waterfalls, to the gates of the Vercors in Léoncel.

Tips from the Community
There are 2 passages where you have to climb via a ladder construction. The first passage is the trickiest because it feels like a step is missing. Otherwise, the gorge is easy to walk for people with reasonable fitness and good sure-footedness. We walked the gorge in good weather and with no water flowing through the gorge. If it has rained recently, everything seems a bit slippier and experience with gorge walking is an advantage.

The Col road leads to Barbières, winding through the sublime landscapes of the Vercors. Upon reaching the village, after a gentle but winding climb, the view opens up onto majestic mountains and green valleys. Dotted with meadows and forests, this route is ideal for cyclists in search of natural beauty. The village of Barbières, nestled at the foot of the cliffs, offers a picturesque setting, perfect for a well-deserved break.

When walking through the gorge, you have to walk a bit through the river at the end. Shoes then get wet
