생 줄리앙 앙 베르코르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 산길

Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de la Machine starting from Saint-Jean-en-Royans, which passes through the incredible Combe Laval!

After a long section of "classic" pass, we suddenly find ourselves on the side of a cliff with a majestic view 😍. The valley is not very long but magnificent. Many nooks and crannies to stop and take a photo.

A fairly demanding pass at first, but it eventually eases off as the scenery becomes incredible! 6 km at 8%, then 6%, 4%, 5% (not sure, I was just looking at the scenery) and the last two km at 4%.

It is possible to do the Crête des Crocs tour by following the path at the bottom of the cliffs. You will have to pay attention to the cairn which indicates when you must leave it to reach the ridge and switch to the other side. Be careful, the path to go back down includes a technical passage that can be avoided by passing the rocky bar while staying on the ridge.

The landscape is an absolute eye-catcher, a great road with countless views.

Magnificent landscape, great road in the rocks. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/touren/touren-im-parc-naturel-regional-du-vercors/route-combe-laval-variante-1/

Fantastic landscape, beautiful road. Combe Laval, a must in the Vercors.

The Col de la Machine is located at the end of the remote karst of Combe Laval. The panorama is spectacular and the site gives you an overall impression of the natural environment which constitutes the Vercors massif.
