The best-known mountain of the Dauphiné region, the superb Mt Aiguille, stands in isolation, dominating the surrounding land. The rural landscape of Trièves, which stretches away from the foot of the cliffs marking the eastern edge of the Vercors massif, gives a foretaste of the beauty of nearby Provence. It is a beautiful setting, abounding with bright colours and dotted with charming villages showcasing unusual architecture. Make a stop at Mens, the historical capital of Trièves.
