Hiking

This beautiful walk that I am offering you offers landscapes that are as splendid as ever. But here it takes on historical colors.

The Vercors was a hotbed of resistance during the Second World War. Along its trails, you discover the national necropolis of Pas de l'Aiguille (the smallest in France). The cave where the resistance took refuge during the attack of July 22, 1944 is located near the monument. The Haut Vercors indeed served as a natural bastion and place of refuge for many freedom fighters.

Between the Pas de l'Essaure and the Pas de l'Aiguille, you have the possibility of climbing another summit: the Tête Chevalière which rises to 1,951 meters above sea level.

On your return to Chichilianne, you will find hotels, lodges and a bakery for those snacks.

Chaumailloux Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Pretty little unguarded cabin where it is possible to shelter and sleep. Ideally located on a vast plateau, it offers a breathtaking view of Mont Aiguille. A spring flows all year round a few meters away. A little further away are the resistance memorial and caves.

October 15, 2025,Vercors IV: Die Tête Chevalière
The route we've planned today is called Tête Chevalière (Horseman's Head) and, while it doesn't have a prominent peak, is still quite challenging. Today, for the first time, we have to set out in the fog, anxiously awaiting when and if it will clear. We actually wade through the murky mists the entire way up. Shortly before reaching the plateau, …
