Si vous randonnez sur les Hauts Plateaux du Vercors, et notamment sur le GR des Grandes Traversées du Vercors, vous passerez par le Trièves, où se trouve aussi une partie de la Réserve Naturelle Nationale des Hauts Plateaux du Vercors…le Mont Aiguille et le Grand Veymont !

Le Trièves : un des territoires du Vercors

The western side of the Trièves has 11 communes which are part of the Vercors Regional Natural Park. The emblematic summit of the Vercors, the Mont Aiguille, formerly called Mont Inaccessible, is located in the Trièves in the community  of Chichilianne. The Grand Veymont, the highest summit of the Vercors, is also located in the Gresse en Vercors community in the Trièves.

The Vercors Massif is vast and is made up of 5 communes ( Pays Diois,  Massif du Vercors,  Vercors Drôme, Saint-Marcellin Vercors Isère Communauté,  and the Trièves). These communes are united in a collective named Inspiration Vercors to promote the Vercors.

Inspiration Vercors : Inspiration may have no limits, but it does have a favourite muse in the Vercors!

Inspiration Vercors is a brand to service the Vercors as a tourist destination and reflects the values of its communities. Inspiration Vercors fosters  a collective approach, supported and shared by the Vercors communes, their tourism offices, the regional departments and is led by the Vercors Regional Natural Park. The local authorities and tourism service providers in the area (through the Inspiration Vercors Partner label) work together to boost the Vercors’  profile and visibility, while at the same time promoting values specific to the area.

Vercors Values

Highlighting the unique characteristics of the Vercors, its history, its inhabitants, its natural and heritage riches, the Inspiration Vercors collective focuses its promotion of the region around 4 strong values.

COMMUNICATION

A land for all, interesting encounters surround you  in the Vercors. We believe in the meaning found in each experience. We want to pass  on to our visitors our passion for this land.  This source of enrichment, made up of encounters and discoveries, is the essence of traveling in our region, marked by conviviality and a love of sharing knowledge.

PRESERVATION

For generations the Vercors region has overseen  vast areas and a particularly diverse natural life. This heritage implies the responsibility of its inhabitants  to preserve their region in order to better pass it on to future generations. In this implicit duty, the Vercors Regional Nature Park has a fundamental role to play in offering a unique insight into the heart of an exceptional natural resource.

REVITALISATION

The Vercors is a break from everyday life, it is the perfect antidote to a need for holidays, relaxation, escape… Since time immemorial, the Vercors has imbued  its inhabitants with their characteristic energy and strength. Pure air, beautiful landscapes, it is an undeniable privilege to live in this environment… This place is a source of well-being, far from stress and crowds. To come to the Vercors is to find yourself in a peaceful bubble, protected from the hustle and bustle of the world.

FREEDOM

The Vercors was a hotbed of the Resistance and home to many of the Maquis. Today, this hard-won freedom is anchored in the DNA of the Vercors, a place where one can escape to while remaining accessible. Thanks to this freedom of spirit, the inhabitants have developed a capacity to innovate, a dynamism stretching across the plateaux and mountains of the Vercors Massif.
