The Noyer Pass last summer - Delphisa - 01-03-2019 With the cold weather I don't ride much these days... But have time for checking and storing some pictures shot last summer, not yet taken out of the camera ! End of August, we had a beautiful day touring in the Devoluy Mountains, south of Grenoble. The Devoluy is a limestone massif, typical of the Pre-Alps, like Chartreuse and Vercors. Higher summits are about 2700 m, light grey rocks, while valleys are green, with a few forests and many sheeps or cattle farms. Typical lanscape of this area : With the highest rock here : Tete de l'Obiou, 2748 m Up to this day I never came to the Noyer Pass (1664 m), one of the massif exit toward east. Despite noyer means walnut tree, there is no walnut tree there... A refuge was built at the pass in 1858, one of the six "Refuges Napoleon" built in the Alps thanks to Napoleon III fundings. Now it's a restaurant, open only summer days.
