Want to carve some beautiful curves in the Vercors? Renting a snowboard in Font d'Urle is the ideal way to enjoy a wild plateau, pine-fringed clearings and playful combes when the snow is right. Here, people come for the grandiose scenery, the sometimes powdery snow after the easterly returns, and the natural ambience of a small family resort.

The weather can change quickly on the plateau: the wind is frequent, as is the fog. It's best to aim for calm mornings after a snowfall and keep an eye on the snow report. In mid-winter, January-February often offer the best conditions; in spring, the snow transforms and becomes pleasant in the late morning. If you're looking for a little more elevation gain, the nearby Col de Rousset is the perfect complement to a day at Font d'Urle.
