When you rent cross-country skis in Gresse en Vercors, you're guaranteed to ski in the heart of the Vercors Regional Nature Park, facing Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymont. The slopes wind through fir forests and bright glades, with superb panoramic views over the Trièves. Beginners, families and athletes all find their own rhythm here, from easy loops near the village to longer routes on the plateaus.

For the best conditions, set off in the morning when the snow is cold and well packed, ideal for skating. Mild, sunny afternoons on south-facing slopes, perfect for classic skiing. On windy days, prefer loops in the forest, which provide good shelter. After a snowfall, wait for grooming for a steady glide.
