Mountain biking
The history of mountain biking was written and continues to be written in the Vercors...
It began in 1987 with the organisation of the 1st World Mountain Bike championships, and continues today with the Velo Vert Festival, and the organisation of the 1st French Electric Mountain Bike Championships in 2018. With its five Fédération Française de Cyclisme or Cyclotourisme labelled sites and over 1,500 km of signalled trails, its major long distance (GTV) and Chemins du Soleil (Grenoble-Sisteron) itineraries, its endurance and downhill mountain biking areas (Bike Resort) and its dedicated Fat Bike itineraries, the Vercors is a fabulous region for mountain biking whatever your level!

The Via Vercors
1st green path in the mountains
The ViaVercors, an itinerary dedicated to "green modes" of transport, including the bicycle, will take you to the heart of the Vercors, from village to village. Over 40 km link the villages of St Nizier du Moucherotte, Lans en Vercors, Villard de Lans, Corrençon en Vercors, Autrans and Méaudre. This secured path, accessible to a very wide public (inhabitants, tourists, families, sports people or people with reduced mobility), is ideal for discovering nature, the countryside and the heritage thanks to its signposting. You will find 7 electric bicycle recharging terminals along the itinerary.

Chemins du Soleil mountain bike raid
A raid designed to promote the permanent Chemins du Soleil route between Grenoble and Sisteron and between Valence and Gap. The starts and finishes change every year. This raid is considered to be extreme because of its high altitude (over 7500m), linking Valence and Gap. There are several options on offer, including a multi-day rando, a 2-day elite with an overnight stage, or a 3-stage rando without a time trial. An event for experienced mountain bikers in early June!
For more information: see the Raid VTT Chemins du soleil website
