Which massif brings together edelweiss, symbol of the mountain and thyme with Mediterranean scents? Steep limestone cliffs and gentle vineyards? Which plateau is home to the six large wild ungulates of France but also cattle that come in the summer to feast on our mountain pastures? The Vercors of course!
Straddling the departments of Isère and Drôme and located between the cities of Valence and Grenoble, this mid-mountain territory extends over a vast limestone massif of 206 hectares between 000 and 180 meters above sea level. .
Created in 1970, the Vercors Regional Natural Park is made up of 83 municipalities spread over eight natural regions: North Piedmont, Quatre-Montagnes, Coulmes, Diois, Vercors Drômois, Royans, Trièves, Gervanne. The entire left bank of our territory in relation to the Isère river is located within the perimeter of the Vercors Regional Natural Park in the Coulmes sector.
From the National Nature Reserve of the Hauts-Plateaux du Vercors to the detour of the sublime roads to the underground depths of our gorges and caves, the Vercors is a mosaic of territories inviting contemplation, discovery and adventure...
The missions of the Vercors Regional Natural Park are to protect, enhance and revitalize the massif by promoting or supporting projects in the fields of natural resource and forest management, biodiversity, mobility and renewable energies, agriculture, planning and urban planning, culture and heritage, education and diversified and sustainable tourism.
Inspiration Vercors is the brand of the tourist destination and allows it to be promoted. It is led by a group of actors: tourist offices and communities of communes of the Vercors, the departmental councils and the Vercors Regional Natural Park.
