From Beauregard to Michallons by the Grande Traversée du Vercors (GTV)

Step by step

From the Vouillants parking lot, turn right along the narrow path that runs under the pond. At the Beauregard meadow, turn left towards Les Arcelles. After crossing the wooden footbridge, head for Pariset. This track narrows to give way to a small winding path strewn with roots. The exit onto the road is steep and dangerous, requiring great caution. Turn right and climb the route de St Nizier for 300 m. Stay on the right-hand side of the road, following the road markings to avoid encroaching on the traffic lane as far as the signpost at Pariset. Cross the route de St Nizier using the pedestrian crossing. Follow the signs for St Nizier and the old streetcar station. Climb the steep road and follow the sloping path. Turn right at the end of the road as far as the old streetcar station. Don't take the left-hand path (GR9) here, but continue straight ahead, passing the old streetcar station on the left, and shortly afterwards taking the left-hand path. This is the old Tram track. Take this path and continue to the Risset bridge, which you cross. Pass through the first and largest tunnel on the route, staying well in the middle (risk of falling into the water drainage ditches on the sides). Continue along the track through the second tunnel. At the Ravaud intersection, turn right in the direction of St Nizier and go to the end of the track. Go straight ahead on the route des arcelles and follow it to the Blanche Neige post, the junction between the old Tram track and the GR9. Descend along the GR9. Turn right onto the road to Les Pinières. Go straight ahead at the intersection below and take the small path on the right about 100 m further on. Descend the steep
until you reach the road from St Nizier to Les Pinières. Walk along
the right-hand side of the road for approx. 15 m and take the right-hand path
towards the old streetcar station. Go down the track for 550 m and
take the path on the right towards Pariset. Turn right at
the old streetcar tracks, then turn left towards Pariset. The
return by the same route as the ascent. In Pariset, go down
route de St Nizier for 300 m (left-hand side) and take the downhill path
