The Col road leads to Barbières, winding through the sublime landscapes of the Vercors.

Abbaye de Léoncel

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the descent from the Col de la Bataille (or at the start of the climb, depending on your direction), you can admire this large Cistercian abbey, founded in 1137. Take two minutes to greet the alpaca who lives in the gardens!
