Thrilling Roads in the Spectacular Vercors

Excellent on TripAdvisor

Quiet roads with stunning views at every turn

From jaw dropping roller coaster rides, breathtaking gorges and quiet, walnut lined roads, the diversity of terrain in this region caters for all cycling abilities. With an unrivalled choice of routes directly from our door for thrill seekers and the more laid back adventurer.

Small Business with a Big Welcome

Our aim is to make sure you have the best cycling holiday possible, with wonderful long lasting memories. With over 30 years cycling in the region and 17 years running Velo Vercors we still get a buzz welcoming back familiar faces and greeting new guests from around the world. We welcome all guests from solo travellers to cycling clubs and we're on hand to give daily route suggestions based on our knowledge, weather and how your legs feel. We'll book you into a local restaurant, organise a massage and make suggestions of what to do 'off the bike' should you decide have a rest day.

Top Destination for Road, Leisure and Family Cycling Adventures

The Vercors offers a unique riding experience on quiet roads through breathtaking gorges, a network of tunnels carved from the limestone cliffs, overhangs and sheer drops to excite and delight. A region so diverse a turn in the road will bring you to a different world as you cycle between valleys, cross over streams and negotiate less travelled roads. For lovers of cycling, nature, history and food the Vercors is the place to be. This hidden gem of vertiginous cliff top roads, hair pin cols, majestic waterfalls, grassy alpine meadows, rolling hills and quaint, medieval villages is right on our doorstep. A foot in the wild to appreciate nature at its best and at the same time a short trip from the bigger towns of Valence and Romans-sur-Isere and the cities of Grenoble and Lyon - food capital of France.

So, here's how it works

We rent our self-catering gites from Saturday to Saturday so let us know the week you'd like to come. We also have one B&B room. Included in the price is an extensive choice of routes supplied as GPX files with maps and route descriptions. We even have a Guide Book! You can then decide if you would like any of our additional services: bike hire, massage or transfers to and from the regional airport and stations. We are here to offer a warm, personable service on all aspects of your cycling holiday and look forward to welcoming you.

Short or longer stays

There is a substantial choice of routes, directly from our door to satisfy the most ambitious cyclist for 1 or 2 weeks without having to do the same one twice. At the same time we know that many of you only have a few days to spare due to other commitments so we are here to suggest our favourite classic roller coaster rides for a super, short memorable stay.

So, where is the Vercors?

The Vercors are situated in SE France in the Auvergne Rhone Alps straddling the Drome and Isere Departments. A national park with over 6000 square kilometers, lying between the Isere river valley running from Grenoble in the north to Valence along its west flank, boasting a sheer line of limestone cliffs with spectacular views over the Alps running down its eastern flank. Famous for spectacular river gorges and high, ancient roads carved through mammoth limestone walls creating a series of tunnels opening up to spectacular views across the valleys. It offers cyclist's a unique cycling experience on roads less travelled than the busier high Alps, but no less impressive. Velo Vercors is perfectly located in the charming town of St Jean-en-Royans nestled 240m at the gateway to the three major cols up to the Vercors plateau.
