A fantastic section of the ViaVercors route between Lans-en-Vercors and Saint Nizier du Moucherotte, with wide, flowing gravel trails, expansive views revealed from the curtains of tall firs and shaded secret doubletracks.

Keep an eye out for the river Le Bruyant and waterfalls on this section, as well as the peak of Roche Rousse.

ViaVercors via Lans-en-Vercors

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is one of the straightest and flattest parts of the ViaVercors route in the Vercors Massif: perfect for young children, runners, hikers, cycle trailers and riders with limited mobility.

Although the elevation might not challenge you, you'll be surrounded by the most magnificent mountain views as you connect Lans-en-Vercors to the villages and towns to the south.

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.

First part of the Gravel crossing of the Vercors, I wanted to compare the two possible climbs: by the old tram line, by the first section of the via Vercors.
