Description

I propose you to come and hike on the trails of the South Vercors, transition zone between the Alps and Provence. This double influence offers us an exceptional biodiversity and will allow us to approach various themes such as the flora and fauna, the transhumance, the lavender, the karstic landscapes of the mountains, etc.

Throughout these 5 days, we will do day hikes, starting from our base camp in Die. I will make you walk off the beaten track, in order to make you discover this endearing and very rich massif that is the Vercors. We will have to make short trips by vehicle to get to the starting point of the outings.

This stay is for all walkers and naturalists motivated by the discovery of these magical places. The daily hikes last from 4 to 6 hours, for a positive difference in altitude of 300 to 600 meters.

And if you want to discover the Vercors massif with the eye of the photographer, you might follow me during this training in the macrophotography of orchids and butterflies or these two days of naturalist observation and animal photography of the vultures of the Drôme.
