  • An Invitation to Mont Aiguille Jean-Paul Zuanon 83
    An invitation to Mont Aiguille Jean-Paul Zuanon Once known as one of the 'seven marvels of the Dauphine', Mont Aiguille which raises its proud outline 40 km S from Grenoble, is one of the most famous and typical summits of the French Alps. It is today one of the favour­ ite goals of Grenoble climbers, attracted by its bold appearance, its easy access and the variety of the climbs it offers. From a geological point of view, it is a part of the pre-alpine group of Vercors, a small scale version of the Dolomites, which offers many interesting climbs 300 or 400 m high; but while Vercors itself consists mainly of a single ridge, with summits little individualised, Mont Aiguille is a huge isolated block of limestone, vertical on every side and sepa­ rated from the main ridge by erosion. Even though it is of only a modest alti­ tude (2086 m), it is a very spectacular summit, that one discovers from far away. The N fa·ce raises an impressive yellow wall just above the green forest; narrow and slender, it really justifies this name of 'aiguille' (needle). On the contrary, the E face is much more massive and wider, and also more attractive for the climber who finds there not less than 7 very difficult routes. The great WSW face, not very separated from the proper W face is not to be seen from the valley; seldom vertical and of an easy access, this is the face of the historical routes; the relief is complicated, consisting of gendarmes, towers ('Vierge', 'Taureau', 'Gemeaux'), gullies and scree-ledges.

Ce territoire confidentiel a su conserver une certaine identité à travers une réelle authenticité. Ses paysages sont entretenus par une agriculture vivante (20% de Bio) mais sont également sauvages et d’une grande beauté. Le réseau de sentiers y est extraordinaire. Entre Drôme et Isère, entre Alpes et Provence, le Vercors, massif calcaire dressé tel une immense oasis montagneuse, recèle une infinie variété de paysages, de richesses naturelles préservées, une faune sauvage particulièrement importante. La découverte des Hauts Plateaux, la plus vaste réserve naturelle de France, et le Mont Aiguille détaché des Hauts Plateaux du Vercors par un caprice de la géologie, ressemblent à s’y méprendre aux paysages des Dolomites.

  • Vercors Mysteries
    VERCORS MYSTERIES A Dolomites twin! A vast altitude plateau, the Vercors massif offers to hikers a harmonious wilderness. Climbing up to the plateau is the goal for the first days... A steep ascent into limestone where ibex and chamois are often present in the morning. Then we encounter a mix of mediterranean and dolomitic landscapes on top of the ridges between Grand-Veymont and the Mont Aiguille, with the Ecrins massif in the background. From here we are about to enter the Devoluy massif under the face of the Grand-Ferrand in the classified valley of Jarjatte. The hike is now more alpine in this surprising range. Have you already heard about the Chourum? Quick passage into the Devoluy, because we cannot miss the Bure mountain, an altitude desert where giant parables are scanning our universe. Return via the Aiguille pass, where bearded vulture nestle... Amazing! 7 days Guided / with a guide With baggage transport Accommodation : Classic or comfort Level : *** From : 820€ You will like ● The beauty of this limestone massif with multiple reliefs similar to the Dolomites ● The route on top of ridges, offering vast panoramas over the Alps ● The wide plateau landscapes and Jarjatte valley ● The simple and cosy accomodation and local produce of Trièves and Drôme regions Altitude Montblanc - 62 Passage du Nant Devant - 74110 Montriond - +33(0)4 50 79 09 16 - [email protected] Capital 6000€ - IM 074100150 - APE 7912Z SIRET: 48156356700025 - TVA : FR67481563567 Assurance RC MMA SARL SAGA – Caution Groupama 200 000€ The route Day 1 Meet at 9:00am at the train station of Monestier-de-Clermont and transfer to Gresse-en-Vercors.
