Villard de Lans, authentic village
Villard-de-Lans belongs to the Regional Natural Park of Vercors. The town is situated at the foot of La Grande Moucherolle, the second peak of Vercors, the highest point at 2285 m. The Villard-de-Lans ground promotes water infiltration, hence the lack of natural lakes. However, Villard-de-Lans has a seasonal pond, Lake Lauzet, which is filled by capillary action to the snow melts .
The economy of Villard-de-Lans is mainly based on tourism, with many shops open all year and the following equipment:
- > The ski area of Villard-de-Lans / Corrençon-en-Vercors;
- > A casino;
- > An Ice ring
- > An Aquatic center with indoor swimming pools with waves, outdoor water slides, fitness facilities (sauna, jacuzzi, gym)
- > A bowling;
- > A Museum about the heritage and local history.
Villard-de-Lans has always been known for its agriculture. A cattle breed is named after him (the Villard de Lans or Villarde). The village is part of the Vercors AOC Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage. The town is a commercial center on the set of the four mountains. Local Shops prevent many residents to travel to Grenoble to find products daily.
