Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Lans-en-Vercors resort (1,004 m)

Highlight • Settlement

Lans is a very pretty village in the Vercors, the resort is at Côte 2000, a little higher up. It's not necessarily the best starting point for a bike ride. We prefer Villard de Lans, which offers a multitude of routes.

Lans-en-Vercors

Highlight • Settlement

It's one of the most important towns in the region. It's popular with sports enthusiasts from Grenoble and beyond for its excellent cycling paths, mountain bike trails, and running routes. In winter, skiers flock to the resort to enjoy the slopes.

In the town center, take note of the typical architecture. You'll find several shops and the Church of Saint Bartholomew.

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.

If you happen to live in Grenoble, it's almost impossible to find a route under 1000 m 😁

GPS problem at the start (time OK, distance and Vmoy poor)
5 min less on the climb compared to last year. Looking forward to 5/6 years from now 😛

June 27, 2025,St Niziers - Lans - Villard et retour

To try to find a bit of freshness, I went up to the Vercors plateau, at 1000m the temperature is 24°, perfect for a walk. On the way back down to Grenoble, it was horrible. Too hot 🥵

...by the most direct route I know.
2 hours at 0 -3° is the max!
And 2 hours in the exhaust is too much.
