Villard-de-Lans

Highlight • Settlement

Villard de Lans is a commune on the Vercors plateau. In winter, it is a small-scale ski resort with an excellent collection of cross-country ski trails. During the summer months, these trails become a paradise for mountain bikers. There is a good bus network that connects Grenoble to Villard de Lans, allowing you to easily visit the city and the Vercors massif.

Petites Pistes DH at La Colline les Bains

Highlight • Other

While passing by this hill (well known in winter for its toboggan runs), I discovered some small DH trails. I tried the "green" one, which is very fun. If you have an e-mountain bike, it's worth going back up easily thanks to the AE and then doing the trails again! ;-)

The Villard Balcony

Highlight • Other

Le Balcon de Villard is a resort located in the heart of the Vercors natural park. You can find many restaurants there to take a break as well as restrooms.

The resort is also the departure point for several cable cars which bring hikers closer to the summits for those who wish, for a day hike, to tackle Mont Gerbier or the Grande Moucherolle from the ridges.

Clariant Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A brilliant mountainside auberge and the halfway point on the Clariant Loop blue-rated MTB trail from Villard-de-Lans. A true friendly paradise in summer and winter alike, although it looks very different through the seasons!

You can enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner here, or perhaps just a refreshing drink.

The ViaVercors is an extensive network of cycle paths in the Vercors National Park. It consists mostly of hard gravel trails which are suitable for touring bikes. It's a great way to discover the region away from the roads.

Magnificent panoramic gravel trail

Highlight (Segment) • Other

This superb passage is a real pleasure to ride. It brings together all the pleasures of gravel with a hilly profile, speed, very open landscapes, gravelly ground that crunches under the tires. Total happiness!
