It's a postcard landscape: a light pebble beach, a lake shimmering in the sun, the imposing silhouette of the Obiou on the horizon.

Absolutely magnificent roads at the foot of the eastern cliffs of the Vercors. From Grenoble, you have to earn them by passing through Arzelier. They continue to St Andeol and the Col des Deux.

1st part by road not very pleasant but with a good pace you will have to grit your teeth for 30 minutes. Then it's just happiness. be careful the descent is quite trial-like.
