The Vercors natural park is a well preserved area of the French Alps, close to the city of Grenoble. This trip is a beautiful traverse of Vercors, from the Meaudre village, surrounded by pine forests, to Lans en Vercors. The fauna is rich and animals shelter easily in the large forests. A pure winter walk, where you can feel what snow really smells like! You will discover one of the most stunning and varied environments for rambling: a classic! Walking with snowshoes doesn’t require any particular technique. It is something you will pick up very quickly as you go – after about half an hour’s walk. The path is absolutely safe, with traces of walkers already printed in the snow, trail markings on trees and rocks and detailed maps provided. |
