- Gaussian percolation can be seen as the generalization of standard Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Instead of a random discrete configuration on a lattice, we consider a continuous Gaussian field $f$ and we study the topological and geometric properties of the random excursion set $\mathcal{E}_\ell(f) := \{x\in \mathbb{R}^d\ |\ f(x)\geq -\ell\}$ where $\ell\in \mathbb{R}$ is called a level. It is known that for a wide variety of fields $f$, there exists a phase transition at some critical level $\ell_c$. When $\ell> \ell_c$, the excursion set $\mathcal{E}_\ell(f)$ presents a unique unbounded component while if $\ell<\ell_c$ there are only bounded components in $\mathcal{E}_\ell(f)$. In the supercritical regime, $\ell>\ell_c$, we study the geometry of the unbounded cluster. Inspired by the work of Peter Antal and Agoston Pisztora for the Bernoulli model \cite{Antal}, we introduce the chemical distance between two points $x$ and $y$ as the Euclidean length of the shortest path connecting these points and staying in $\mathcal{E}_\ell(f)$. In this paper, we show that when $\ell>-\ell_c$ then with high probability, the chemical distance between two points has a behavior close to the Euclidean distance between those two points.
