Corrençon-En-Vercors: Winter Sports and Nature

Corrençon-en-Vercors lies at the southern end of the Val de Lans plateau, in a clearing surrounded by forests. Winter sports, biathlon, golf, and an easy art trail offer different focal points. When planning your trip, you can first decide which of these activities are important for your stay. It is worth matching your travel dates with your preferred activities: the Domaine Découverte and the golf course are seasonal offerings, while the cross-country ski trails are available depending on the season. If you are looking for a hotel, it helps to consider these conditions alongside your travel plans.

Landscape Between the Plateau and the Protected Area

The clearing surrounded by forests lies at the southern end of the Val de Lans plateau. The road ends in Corrençon-en-Vercors; to the south begin the protected areas of the Les Hauts plateaux du Vercors nature reserve. The plateau, the village, and the protected area thus provide different points of reference for the character of the landscape. Another landmark, the summit of La Tête des Chaudières, rises above Corrençon-en-Vercors and the Trièves. The summit offers views of the Grande Moucherolle and the Deux Sœurs. The village in the clearing and the summit views of the named mountains are two distinct perspectives on the Vercors landscape.

Ski Options and Biathlon

The Domaine Découverte offers ski runs suitable for beginners, with access from Les Rambins, Côte 2000, and Les Clots. This is a seasonal offering. The espace nordique du Haut Vercors is accessible from Corrençon-en-Vercors and comprises 122 km of cross-country ski trails, which are also available depending on the season. This means that a beginner-friendly range of runs with three named access points and a Nordic trail area with a stated total length of 122 km offer distinct factors to consider when planning. Check the seasonal operation of the Domaine Découverte and the availability of the trails before your trip.

The Espace Biathlon Ski-Roue du Vercors offers another sporting dimension. It comprises 14 km of trails across five difficulty levels. The Espace includes a biathlon shooting range with 25 targets at 50 m, as well as another shooting range with 10 targets at 10 m for air rifles or laser rifles. The target counts and distances clearly distinguish the two shooting areas; together with the five trail levels, they give the venue a specific sporting profile. If biathlon is important to your trip, this area offers a distinct focus alongside the cross-country trails and the beginner-friendly offering.

Golf at 1,100 Metres

Golf de Corrençon-en-Vercors is an 18-hole course at an altitude of 1,100 m. The facility also includes a practice area, an introductory course, and a five-hole pitch-and-putt course. In addition to the 18-hole course, the offering includes opportunities to practise, an introductory course, and a five-hole format. The golf course is open seasonally. If golf is one of the fixed points of your trip, check whether it will be open during your planned travel dates.

Art Trail with Views of the Village

The Sentier du Clos de la Balme – Andarta is an easy trail. Artworks line the route, which offers panoramic views of the village of Corrençon-en-Vercors. The trail thus combines art along the way with views of the village. When planning your trip, this offers a distinct focus alongside the ski and biathlon options: here, the artworks and the views of the village take centre stage.
