Description

Discover the Col Naturel de Rousset, an accessible route offering a journey between history and spectacular panoramas of the iconic landscapes of the Vercors.

The Col Naturel de Rousset invites you to follow one of the old communication routes that once connected Die to Grenoble and remained in use until 1875. This short hike allows you to trace the threads of history while enjoying an exceptional natural setting. From the viewpoint, the view encompasses a vast panorama of the Die valley, the impressive cliffs of the Glandasse, and the Vercors High Plateaus Nature Reserve. A true balcony overlooking the landscapes of the Diois and Vercors regions, this site offers a remarkable viewpoint where heritage, unspoiled nature, and wide-open spaces blend together. Between forest paths, clearings, and sweeping vistas, this walk is an ideal getaway to discover the natural and historical treasures of the Col de Rousset.

Delicate passage
