Mont Aiguille, at 2086m, dominates the Trièves, and is part of the Vercors High Plateaux Nature Reserve. It's one of the 7 wonders of the Dauphiné.

In 1492, Antoine de Ville made the first ascent of Mont Aiguille on the orders of the King of France, equipped with ladders! Mountaineering was born: access to the summit is indeed mountaineering.

The "Voie normale" is the most classic and easiest route, suitable even for beginners (provided you're not afraid of heights!). It does, however, require suitable equipment and supervision by a qualified mountaineering guide - Marc Vanpé, Guide de Haute Montagne.

Marc supports the Ecotourism initiative by helping you discover the Trièves without a car:

1) He advises (or even accompanies) you on how to get to the start of the activity on foot or by bike.

2) It adapts the activity timetable to train or bus schedules.

3) Deduct the cost of your ticket from the activity's regular fare.

Arrival point/transportation: TER train from Grenoble or Région AURA bus line T95 from Grenoble bus station to Clelles train station.
To reach accommodation: 20-30 min by bike or 40-60 min walk (depending on accommodation). Or transport on request (SNCF) to Chichilianne.
