The summits of the Vercors

You're in Lans, Villard or Corrençon. You can probably see the Moucherotte, the Grande Moucherolle or the Cornafion and its plateau. Maybe you can even picture the view of Mont-Aiguille from the Grand Veymont or the Tête des Chaudières.

The Pied Vert mountain leaders, hiking guides, invite you to discover the view from these belvederes once you reach the top. These sporty hikes climb at your pace between 600 and 1000 m of elevation, depending on the route, towards one of the Vercors high points.

The magic of these rocky high-altitude environments may let you spot, a few metres away, chamois or their cousins the ibex. Along the way, you'll certainly hear marmots whistle. And perhaps in autumn, you'll come across red deer in the rut in the distance.

In winter, the ascent can be done on snowshoes.

To keep participants safe, hikes to these summits are offered to small groups.

The summits proposed don't require any specific equipment (apart from a good pair of boots, a small backpack with water and a jacket). A picnic should be planned, to be agreed with your guide at booking.

Want a panoramic view without the steep climbs? We can also organise a hike or an easy walk suited to groups with mixed physical levels (family, school, company, etc.).
