Villard-de-Lans

Villard-de-Lans straddles the Bourne in the Vercors Massif of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a position that has made it a focal point for travel across this high limestone plateau. The town lies within Vercors Regional Natural Park, where wooded slopes, pastureland and dramatic cliffs create a landscape distinct from the nearby Grenoble basin. It is a long-established centre for alpine and Nordic skiing, while the wider Vercors is closely associated with French Resistance activity during the Second World War. Summer brings walkers, cyclists and cavers to the massif, and the town retains the working character of a mountain market centre.
