The Pearl
A stronghold of tourism in the Vercors Natural Park! Villard de Lans is a highly attractive place to holiday near Grenoble on the high plateau of Vercors. Villard de Lans is so inviting and provides an unforgettable holiday in both summer and winter. Villard de Lans made a name for itself with the “fresh air and milk” cure for bringing sick children back to blooming health. Over the years the community has developed into a major winter sports location with a rich provision of Alpine skiing slopes and fine cross-country tracks. Villard de Lans is the centre of winter sport in the Vercors but it is also a stronghold of tourism in summer. Wonderful opportunities to experience an unspoiled natural landscape and to take part in active sports are the trademarks of the Vercors Natural Park!
