    On foot with the family between Corrençon en Vercors and Villard de lans 8.5km

    What better way to discover our surroundings than by taking one of our beautiful footpaths?

    From the centre of Villard de Lans towards Corrençon, this section of the ViaVercors takes you up to the Cote 2000 ski resort, passing through the historic hamlet of Les Pouteils.

    Enjoy the different landscapes, where fields and forests alternate. Don’t miss the old toboggan run from the 1968 Olympics.

    Then descend to the pretty, unspoilt village of Corrençon en Vercors. This village is the gateway to the Vercors High Plateaux Nature Reserve.

    Pedal through the gorges between Villard de Lans and Méaudre on an electric bike 10km

    Discover this section of the ViaVercors, which takes you along forest paths, wooden pontoons on stilts and footbridges across the Méaudret river.

    From Villard de Lans, the start of the route is on the road, so take care.

    On the way, you’ll pass the Coopérative Laitière Vercors Lait, where the famous Bleu du Vercors – Sassenage cheese is made.

    Then walk along the water ‘ s edge and enjoy the typical Vercors landscape.

    Once you arrive in Méaudre, discover this small village on an airy, wooded plateau, with its houses with slate gables. Autrans is another option, but you’ll need to add another 9km.

    Bonus: why not take advantage of the outing to visit a farm?

        Take the old tram route between Villard de Lans and Lans en Vercors 8 km

        Between Lans en Vercors and Villard de Lans, discover this almost flat ViaVercors trail. This path used to be used by the tram from Grenoble to Villard, hence its very straight line.

        From this path, you can take time to contemplate the ridges of the Vercors mountain range that dominates. Along the way, you’ll pass alongside the River Bourne, which flows into the Gorges of the same name just outside Villard de Lans.
