Beautiful walks and hikes from Villard-de-Lans and Corrençon-en-Vercors

Beautiful hikes at Villard-de-Lans and Corrençon

The mountains above Villard-de-Lans and Corrençon are calling?

We get it. From the Grande Moucherolle to the Col Vert, a web of trails opens up to walks and to committing hikes.

From the heights, the views stretch across the Alps, the Grand Veymont and the Massif Central.

Maybe you are already there and looking for a last-minute route?

The mountain leaders at Pied Vert take groups along their favourite trails so they can rediscover the Vercors, its human heritage and the wildlife and plants that make it up.

We live in the heart of the Vercors Regional Nature Park. You can reach us directly for more information by phone at 07 66 64 90 96 or by email at contactpiedvert.com pbagnpg@cvrqireg.pbz, or keep reading and browse the themed hikes we run in the Vercors.

You may even want to head out on a two-day hike on the Vercors Highlands.

No two hikes are the same. Conditions change, the environment surprises us (like that ibex spotted on a trail near the Col des Deux Soeurs), and most of all every request is different.

You might be a group of friends celebrating a bachelorette in the mountains, and your request might lean toward a hike with a few challenges built in. Or you might be on a family outing where the kids are not big fans of hiking. There too, we adapt and bring some pedagogy along.

We also enjoy taking companies out, because hiking makes for a real moment of team building at Villard-de-Lans.

Walking solo: the finest trails of Villard-de-Lans

You want to head out solo on a day hike, without a state-qualified mountain leader. Good idea too. We can only encourage you to spend as much time as possible outside, to hear and see the quiet magic of nature and the mountain.

A few precautions are worth taking: bring suitable gear, keep an eye on storm warnings or other weather events that could put your group at risk.

On our blog we have described several itineraries, including family-friendly walks from Villard or Corrençon and hikes to the water spots of the Vercors. Ideal for cooling off and maybe spotting alpine newts on hot summer days.

These tracks may inspire your future walks. If you need other support, drop in at the Corrençon tourist office or the Villard tourist office. They sell booklets and maps for hikers, including beginners.
