Vercors Regional Natural Park

Vercors Regional Natural Park is a large protected area in the French Alps with densely forested mountains, rocky high plateaus, and steep peaks. The terrain features a mix of woodlands, cliff faces, and open summits that together create a varied mountain landscape.

The park was established in the 1970s as a protected area, honoring the traditional mountain communities that had lived there for centuries. The territory played an important role in World War II resistance operations and is still remembered through memorials.

The area is known for traditional sheep and goat herding that continues to shape the landscape today, producing local cheeses like the region's famous blue cheese.

The park has a good network of trails for walking and biking to explore the landscape. You will find accommodations and places to eat along the routes, and winter sports options are also available.

The park contains underground cave systems within its limestone formations that visitors can enter and explore. These caves reveal millions of years of geology and offer a different way to experience the mountain landscape.
