Once you’ve reached Col de la Croix (this pass connects the departments of Isère and Drôme), you can enjoy the views of the peaks all around, especially Dévoluy.

After enjoying the spectacular view, this hike continues through the crossing of a scree before reaching the road at the crossroads Granges de Combau 2.

In 1860, the Mountain Range Restoration (RTM) services were created, in order to avoid excessive erosion and runoff phenomena, causing torrential lava flows. In order to do so, a policy of reforestation has been launched, as well as the setting of thresholds in the areas of flow. The restoration was particularly important in the Diois.

One of the mountainous borders between the Trièves and the Diois, the Col de Tournerond offers a view of the peaks and ridges surrounding: the Rogon, the Jocou ...

At the foot of the highest summits Drômois and backed up to Dévoluy, the valley of the Jarjatte is a classified site protected since 2012.Between torrent, forest (fir beech forest), alpine pastures and limestone peaks. The meteorology of this sector makes it its richness.The climate of the preharms of the humid north and that of the dry south alps mingle and favor an unusual procession of natural environments.

Perhaps you will have the chance to observe the griffon vultures. Reintroduced in the Vercors in 1999, this scavenger can weigh more than 10 kilos and have a wingspan of up to 2m80. The vultures search for carrion, often where the flocks are found.

Every summer the slopes of the Jocou welcome sheep flocks in summer (some cattle on the lower part). The herds maintain these vast alpine pastures, which give a bucolic framework to this hike. Without the maintenance of the alpine pastures, the forest would gradually gain ground.

Les gourmands n'ont pas matière à saliver. Les Sucettes de Borne sont en fait des rochers très effilés, en forme de sucette, près du hameau de Borne. Elles sont le fruit de longs processus géologiques, tectonique d'abord (les couches calcaires sont ici redressées à la verticale) et d'érosion ensuite. L'une des curiosités dont la nature n'est pas avare. Un régal pour les yeux, mais aussi pour les grimpeurs.

Works by local painter Edith Berger are also on display.

Access to the trail is free, and maps are available at the trailhead. Echoing this is Lalley painter Edith Berger.
