What are the Must-Sees in the Trièves?
Passing through the gateway of Grenoble city into Trièves country, awaken your senses and let yourself be carried away by the glorious mountain landscapes between Vercors and Dévoluy, by the sense of history all around you and the freedom to explore!
The Trièves is a land of awe-inspiring diversity. Take the time to enjoy its landscapes but also to discover its hidden treasures, two of which are among the 7 wonders of the Dauphiné! By the Vercors High Plateaux Nature Reserve, you can take in the iconic Mont Aiguille and the Grand Veymont as well as the famous East Balcony of the Vercors, where the ski station Gresse-en-Vercors is nestled.
In the heart of the Trièves and its picturesque villages, the Musée du Trièves will educate you about the history of Mens village – a Protestant stronghold, and about the Resistance, among other things. You can follow the footsteps of Jean Giono, the French author, under the majestic eye of the Dévoluy massif and its peaks, the Obiou and the Grand Ferrand. Last but not least, let yourself be cast away on the ever present winds of the Monteynard-Avignonet lake, succumb to the attraction of its turquoise waters, and tremble a little as you walk across the Lake’s Himalayan footbridges!
