La Chapelle-en-Vercors

La Chapelle-en-Vercors lies in the Vernaison valley on the limestone Vercors plateau in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a position that has long linked the settlement to mountain pasture, forest and routes across the massif. It forms part of Vercors Regional Natural Park, where high plateaux, cliffs and deeply cut gorges shape the French Prealps. The village is closely associated with the Vercors Resistance: during the German assault on the maquis in July 1944, much of La Chapelle-en-Vercors was burned. Today it is a useful base for exploring the plateau and the nearby Col de Rousset. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Vercors.
