ヴァルマラヴェルの峠・トップ5

magnificent little walk to do

On the edge of the Vercors plateaus, there are superb mountain roads that combine elevation and charming landscapes. The D 539 is one of them.

Very beautiful panorama on the Hautes Alpes side

From Valdrôme, the Col de Rossas has 6.4 kilometers of ascent between 6.5 and 7%. It is located at an altitude of 1,115 meters in the Diois massif. The road is rather calm and it is not uncommon to come across sheep and goats in the surrounding pastures. In short, you are in a quiet corner. The place offers a superb view of the plateau where you have just climbed.

The Col de Carabès from Valdrôme is 9.7km long with an average gradient of 4.9%. From Sigottier the climb is 10.5km with an average gradient of 5.15%.

A pass that is deserved especially in hot weather: the climate of the drome spares no one!

Small alpine pass, absolutely narrow, little-traveled road (D27) between Valdrôme and Serres. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/col-de-carabes/

Climb done from la Faurie, starts with a long section of false flat to Montbrand around Creyers, a tough section of sometimes 10%, then another gentle section and the last 3 km with a few hairpin bends up at a percentage of around 6%. Col from La Beaume shorter but much steeper.
