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.
