The Trièves
The Trièves thanks its charm to its landscape, both homogeneous and contrasted and particurly well preserved.
With the valley of the Drac, the cliffs of the Vercors and the Dévoluy for its frontiers, the Trièves consists of small landscapes, shaped by milleniums of mens hands working, accessible by passing the mountain villages and circling the mountains.
The landscapes offer a spectacular contrast, undoubtedly unique, between the placidity of timeless countryside and impressive mountain panoramas on the background.
In the heart of this landscape the colours, the material and the shapes of the country architecture testify of the close and respectful relationship that the men and women have maintained with this country since time.
The Trièves is a country for walking and hiking, on foot, horseback or mountain bike. Many hiking trails are marked.
For those who prefer going higher, the peaks surrounding the land: The Obiou 2789 m, The Grand Ferrand 2761 m, The Mont Aiguille 2086 m, not forgetting the Highland Vercors.
