L'Odyssée Verte is an elevated walkway suspended in the trees. Explanatory panels, games and interactive objects are strewn along the way, providing a fun way to discover the life of trees and forests in general. It's a walk for all the family, poetic and sensory, not athletic and not requiring a harness.

Introduction

Located in the Gresse-en-Vercors forest, the Odyssée Verte® suspension trail lets you discover the forest from above. Here you are in the heart of the canopy, several meters above the ground, safely and without a harness!

This trail, suspended up to 10 m above the ground, offers easy and totally safe access to the forest from above. You'll be able to walk along the trail in complete safety, without the need for a harness.

Once through the reception door, you'll board the first ramp to begin your immersion. At your own pace, you'll progress along the aerial path, gradually gaining height.

You'll be amazed at how you can adopt a squirrel's point of view, smell the scents of nature and feel the rustle of beech trees among the firs. A magical moment!

Throughout the aerial walk, you'll have plenty of time to let yourself be surprised.

New sensations, both olfactory and sensory, will be combined with the pleasure of discovering things differently, from above.

You'll gain a better understanding of the extraordinary living creature that is the tree, through the themes chosen by the foresters: the life of the tree, its environment, foliage, age and growth, sap, forest hosts, regeneration...

You are welcome to come along at any time. Reservations are required only for school groups, leisure centers, community centers, etc.
