Step by step
Departure: park near the church in the village of Gresse en Vercors, or in the parking lot at the entrance to the village, opposite the hotel-restaurant Le Chalet. Go to the municipal information point next to the church, where you will find the starting point.
1. Follow the signs for "Pas du Bru" up into the village, between the two restaurants "La Chicholière" and "Auberge Buissonnière". Continue straight ahead until you reach a crow's-foot, where you go straight ahead again to take a small path that rises gently and offers the first views of the mountains.
2. At the "Pas du Bru" post, follow the track to the right for a few dozen metres to reach the "Combe Rouge" post.
3. Then turn left towards "Col de l'Allimas", climbing steadily through the forest before joining a wider track. The track leads to the Col de l'Allimas, where you can admire Mont-Aiguille.
4. Return to the asphalt road for a few hundred metres before taking the right-hand track towards "Uclaire".
5. From "Uclaire", follow the signs for "Pas du Bru", going downhill to cross the Aulanier stream easily, then back up to the asphalt road. Cross the road to take the track to the "Pas du Bru" signpost.
6. At the "Pas du Bru" post, turn right to return to the starting point, following the same route in the opposite direction. You're back in the village, your starting point!
