Trail Along the Bourne

Structuring axis of the landscape of the Vercors and first river of the massif, the Bourne sculpted the territory and forced Man to adapt to its presence. The latter has carried out numerous developments to occupy the territory and take advantage of the presence of water (driving force and abundant water supply to an agricultural plain).

Throughout the course you will discover the challenges of yesterday and tomorrow to adapt continuously, developments made by Man (walking on the water of an aqueduct, Himalayan footbridge, hanging houses, old corbelled road ) or by nature itself (caves of Choranche, Cirque de Bournillon, Gorges de la Bourne). The journey is punctuated by numerous points of view, moments of relaxation and contemplation… or the opportunity for a small snack purchased from a local producer.

The route is aimed at families as well as experienced hikers who will be able to build their own circuit thanks to the hundreds of kilometers of marked paths connected to this trail.
Accessible by train, bike or car, it is an opportunity to (re)discover the riches of a mid-mountain region.
