Beyond the gorges, the road leads to the Malleval cirque. The Nan Gorges are a designated Sensitive Natural Area.

Bourne Gorge

Highlight • Other

Spectacular road carved into the rock in the heart of the Vercors. Vertical walls, numerous tunnels, and the Bourne stream accompany the route in a wild and evocative setting. One of the most scenic roads in the Vercors, not to be missed by bicycle.

Gorges du Méaudret

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

These are very nice little gorges with many places to have a picnic, including 1 fitted out with tables / benches accessible by wheelchair with assistance. The friendly village of Méaudre is a good starting point for cross-country skiing in winter, and cycling in summer.
