SNO-man says
A lovely old centre in the beautiful Vercors 'parc naturel'. Excellent ski and other sports facilities including riding, dog-sledding, parapente and visits to the spectacular caves of Choranche. Nearby are beautiful tourist routes such as "Les Gorges de la Bourne" and in Lans en Vercors a robot museum and various craftsmen workshops. Childrens facilities are especially good.
