Step by step
Departure: Park at the “Champ de l'Herse” parking lot in the commune of Gresse en Vercors. This parking lot is at the end of the Gresse en Vercors ski area.
1) Head for “Baraque du Veymont” on the right bank of the Gresse stream, then take the path through the undergrowth that gradually climbs up to the hut.
2) A few metres after the hut, take the path that climbs to the left towards “Tiolache”. You'll soon come to the most vertiginous part of the hike, the Quinquambaye ridge, so be careful! After enjoying the view, descend and return to the forest as far as the “Tiolache” post.
3) Continue downhill to “Au Barri”, then take the track on the left to reach the hamlet of “La Bâtie”.
4) Follow the signs north past the chapel to “Ruisseau de Chauplane”.
5) Cross the small hamlet of Chauplane facing Mont-Aiguille before continuing to climb to “Col de l'Allimas”.
6) Continue towards “Combe Rouge”, then turn left towards “Aux Fayolles”, where you'll find Odyssée Verte.
7) Descend to “Côte Emblay”, cross to “Girard” and return to your starting point.
