Place du Canon
The house is at 39 place du Canon. The official starting point of a cycling loop into the Vercors is listed on the same square.
Saint-Gervais · Isère
The valley as your starting point
A village beside the Isère, close to La Belle Via, with the first Vercors slopes rising just above.
Between valley and mountains
Practical for a stopover, ideal for exploring
In the heart of Saint-Gervais, L’Écho du Vercors welcomes both overnight stops and active weekends. La Belle Via follows the Isère just a few steps from the house; the roads of the Vercors lead on to the villages, gorges and mountain plateaus.
The Isère and bridge
Saint-Gervais bridge and the riverbanks provide the village’s immediate landmark between river, cycle route and limestone cliffs.
At the foot, not at altitude
Resorts, trails and plateaux are reached by road, so conditions and journey times should be checked for each season.
