Vercors Regional Natural Park, Regional natural park in Rhône-Alpes, France
The Vercors Regional Natural Park encompasses 206,208 hectares of forested mountains, including limestone plateaus and Alpine ridges reaching 2,341 meters at Grand Veymont.
During World War II, the Vercors mountains functioned as a strategic base for French Resistance operations, now commemorated by three hundred monuments throughout the park.
The park preserves three local breeds: the Villard-de-Lans cattle, the Vercors-Barraquand horse, and the grey Vercors chicken, reflecting regional agricultural heritage.
Visitors can explore 4,600 kilometers of marked trails through the park, which includes nine ski resorts and accommodates 88,000 tourist beds across its territory.
The park contains numerous caves within its limestone formations and maintains seven Natura 2000 sites, supporting diverse ecosystems and geological formations.
