Set off to discover the majestic Pas de l'Aiguille , an iconic hike that will transport you through the history and wild beauty of the Vercors highlands .
The ascent to Pas de l'Aiguille offers a unique hiking experience for nature and adventure lovers.
The trail, although sometimes strenuous, rewards hikers with breathtaking views of Mont Aiguille and the spectacular landscapes of the highlands. Marmots and ibexes, as well as horses, are some of the iconic inhabitants that can be encountered along the way, adding a unique dimension to the hiking experience.
To extend your immersive experience in the Vercors highlands, it is possible to bivouac. Authorized from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m., the bivouac offers the opportunity to spend a night under the stars in this preserved natural setting. It’s a truly magical experience, which we recommend. However, it is crucial to respect the strict rules of the nature reserve , in particular by avoiding making fires and taking away all your waste. This respectful approach guarantees the preservation of the region's fragile ecosystem and allows visitors to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the Vercors.
The Pas de l'Aiguille has deep historical significance due to its role during the Second World War. It was a strategic location used by French resistance fighters to hide from German troops. The Pas de l'Aiguille National Necropolis bears witness to the sacrifice and courage of those who fought for freedom during this dark period in history. Exploring the nearby cave where resistance fighters took refuge offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past and pay homage to those who fought for freedom.
This destination offers an unforgettable getaway in the heart of the wild nature of the Vercors, which we absolutely loved.
