Méaudre Village

Highlight • Settlement

It's a pretty village in the heart of the Vercors mountains, with accommodation, shops, and a swimming pool. In winter, this small ski and cross-country resort attracts families with its beginner slopes and beautiful views. In summer, it's a great starting point for exploring the Vercors by bike or mountain bike.

Gorges du Méaudret

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

These are very nice little gorges with many places to have a picnic, including 1 fitted out with tables / benches accessible by wheelchair with assistance. The friendly village of Méaudre is a good starting point for cross-country skiing in winter, and cycling in summer.

Col de Mont Noir (Pass, 1431m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Located in the Coulmes Forest, with no view or panorama, the Mont Noir Pass peaks at an altitude of 1,421 meters.

Little known and far from traffic, it nevertheless offers five very different climbs:

- via the Écouges Valley and the Col de Romeyère,
- via the Balme de Rencurel and the Col de Romeyère,
- via the Nan Gorges and Malleval-en-Vercors,
- via the Bourne Gorges and Presles,
- via Saint-Pierre-de-Chérennes.

Col de Romeyère

Highlight • Mountain Pass

An iconic pass in the Coulmes massif, accessible after a difficult climb on the north side, and an easier one on the south. It provides access to the Col du Mont Noir, the massif's benchmark pass.

I am amazed
- the fabulous gorges,
- the roads and tunnels: who built them, how and when and with what effort?
- the solitude of Mont Noir (two cars, two motorbikes, three cyclists, a fox and a squirrel)
- the rocks, the sound of the Bourne, the depth of the ravine, ...
Route: From Autrans the Gorges de Meaudre, …
