Lans mountains

Lans mountains

The Vercors is a massive limestone plateau that has been shaped by the sheer force of water, digging deep and narrow gorges, sculpting cirques of inspiring beauty, and carving out large, lush valleys. Stretching more than 40 km from north to south, the Vercors offers us a variety of landscapes: alpine in the north, with the Quatre Montagnes de Lans, and barren in the higher Mediterranean climates of the south. The Montagnes de Lans are lush, where forests give way to valley pastures and small, picturesque villages nestle into the valley slopes. To the east, the plateau rises suddenly over the valley of the Drac, giving the impression of a looming mountain. A well-known destination for cross-country skiing in the winter, this area becomes a paradise for nature-lovers in the summer months
