CA20 – The great crossing of Vercors
Self-guided walking tour in Rhône-Alpes région, through Vercors, massif of mountains and plateaus stretching east of the Rhone valley from Autrans to Chatillon en Diois.
A stronghold steeped in history, enclosed by the Isere, the Drôme and the Arc rivers, the massive silhouette of the Vercors stands impressively in its landscape. A large limestone plateau, carved out by rivers and worn down by erosion, it offers a variety of exceptional beauty spots : vertical cliffs, deep and narrow gorges, imposing creeks, barren areas and wide, lush valleys. More than half of the Vercors is covered by forest which shelters an impressive selection of flora and fauna. Full of contrasts, the Vercors stretches more than 40 km north to south between the alpine valleys of the Montagnes de Lans, the barren “Haut Plateaux” dominated by the Mont Veymont, and the first vineyards and mild Mediterranean climate of Diois. |
