Villard de Lans Corrençon Piste Map and Overview
Set in the heart of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, this combined ski area links the traditional village of Villard-de-Lans with the quieter, more rustic village of Corrençon-en-Vercors. Unlike high-altitude Alpine resorts, this area offers a completely different atmosphere—gentle mountains, forested slopes, and a laid-back, family-friendly vibe just a short drive from Grenoble. It’s known for its peaceful setting, great views, and a ski experience that feels more relaxed and local than commercial.
What makes Villard-Corrençon especially appealing is the variety packed into a relatively compact domain. You get everything from wide beginner-friendly pistes and scenic cruising runs through pine forests, to more technical red and black runs for confident skiers. It’s also one of the largest ski areas in the Vercors, meaning you can explore a surprising amount of terrain without the crowds you’ll find in bigger Alpine hubs. It’s ideal if you want good skiing with a slower pace and a more authentic French mountain feel.
