Hiking

The « Pas de la Ville » pass takes you onto the Vercors High Plateaux.  You will have reached the heart of the biggest terrestrial nature reserve in mainland France. You will be hiking in a unique wild environment that deserves respect and protection.

The « Grandes traversées du Vercors » (GTV) is an organisation regrouping professionals (accomodation, rental shops, guides, taxis...) who wish to make your touring in the Vercors Natural Regional Park as easy as possible. You can travel accross the Vercors by foot, on a mountain bike, by horse or with donkeys, as well as on snowshoes, skis or dog sleds .

There is a variety of material to enable you to travel on your own in the area. These documents are available for viewing or sale at the Tourist Office.
