Col de la Bataille

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Intermediate pass that is comparatively easy to experience from Léoncel. The landscape around the Col is so haunted by the wind that the tree line is hardly higher. Worthwhile views towards Gorge d'Omblèze and the Tête de la dame.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice passage where you can stop to get water, take a break at the refuge, have a nap or even spend the night. The refuge is unguarded. At the end …

July 10, 2021,Naturpark Vercors – Route de Combe Laval 💫
The Combe Laval is absolutely worth seeing. From Saint-Jean-en-Royans it is just under 650 meters in altitude to this spectacular road. It's worth it!
