Gresse en Vercors

Gresse-en-Vercors is a mid-mountain village in the Isère department, set within the Vercors Regional Nature Park, at the foot of the Grand Veymont, the range's highest peak. This small family-friendly resort draws visitors throughout the year thanks to its unspoilt natural surroundings, ideal for hiking and exploring the Vercors plateau. In winter, the local ski area offers alpine slopes suited to families, alongside a well-regarded cross-country skiing area winding through forest clearings. Among the more unusual activities on offer, evening dog-sledding outings are organised, notably on Thursdays, providing a different way to experience the snowy landscape. The village retains an authentic mountain atmosphere, with traditional farmhouses and architecture typical of the Vercors region. The peaceful setting and closeness to nature make it a popular choice for restorative stays, combining outdoor pursuits, rural heritage and quiet surroundings. Gresse-en-Vercors is therefore a good base for exploring the wider Vercors area, whether for winter sports, summer walking or observing the local wildlife and flora.
