The Great Crossing of the Vercors – 5 days

The Vercors is a protected nature area in France. Rich in history but also in untouched nature, it is a large playing field for any hiker and sports lover. Located at the entrance of the alps, the area consists of peaks reaching up to 2300m, as well as high-plateaus between 900m and 1500m of altitude. A unique situation that created landscapes that are just as unique. Between meadows and forests, sharing the space depending on the altitude. A favorable ground for a hiking adventure if you’re willing to spend a few days away from any civilization.

One of the options to discover these landscapes is to follow the GR (Grande Randonnée – Long distance hike), which crosses the region, that is what I’ve decided to do, except for a few variations, over the course of 5 days and 4 nights of adventure in the middle of this wilderness.

Trekking in the Cerces mountains

If you’re one day thinking of hiking around the Alps for a few days, you might want to consider visiting the Cerces mountains and the Clarée valley. Hidden in the middle of the Alps, between the Écrins and the Vanoise, not too far from the city of Grenoble, it harbors multiple stunning landscapes that are reachable for all levels of hikers, and can be tackled with in numerous ways, be it through a long trek or through multiple small day hikes, which are accessible through the town of Nevache.

The trail is accessible all the way by public transportation, car sharing and hitchhiking options are great too, that is how I traveled the last part of the trip, for more information see at the end of the article.

Follow me through this adventure to get to know more about those mountains, all the pictures are sourced from my personal trek there.
