Valchevrière, a place of silence and contemplation, is one of the most moving and evocative sites of the Resistance in Vercors. This hamlet, deep in the forest, served as a camp for the maquisards before becoming the scene of a severe confrontation on July 22 and 23, 1944. On the belvedere overlooking the village, men sacrificed themselves to slow the advance of the Nazi armies and died with weapons in hand. The houses were then set on fire, only the chapel was spared. The hamlet has remained as it was, with its bare stones blackened by fire. A Stations of the Cross, each station of which is an original structure, connects Villard de Lans to Valchevrière.
