Choranche

Highlight • Gorge

Arrived in Choranche from Presle, take advantage of this stopover to refill your water. You can easily get supplies in the village or by going for a hike to the Gournier waterfall where you will also find a shop near the entrance to the Gournier cave.

Choranche holds in its heart the waterfall and the cave of Gournier. Real unusual, the cave of Gournier contains an underground lake that you will have to cross to start your caving excursion. Another portion of the cave is open to guided tours.

For more information on the site and the opening to visits of the cave follow these links:

ViaVercors via Lans-en-Vercors

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is one of the straightest and flattest parts of the ViaVercors route in the Vercors Massif: perfect for young children, runners, hikers, cycle trailers and riders with limited mobility.

Although the elevation might not challenge you, you'll be surrounded by the most magnificent mountain views as you connect Lans-en-Vercors to the villages and towns to the south.
