Très bon moment pour les enfants. Choix entre plusieurs luges. Site accessible en bus ou a pied depuis le centre de villards de lans. Si vous skiez, pensez à prendre vos ski pass pour éviter de payer un supplément
2. Station Autrans Meaudre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 56 reviews
Autrans-Meaudre is a resort village at the same time alpine and Scandinavian, here we practise all the glides! In Alpine skiing, the resort is the ideal place to begin and progress and take advantage of the glide in family. In Scandinavian, it is about one of the best domains in Europe whether it is for the cross-country skiing and the snowshoe with snow. At the end of the day,find our warm town.

Yeah, it's kind of good place to visit in Grenoble .There are restaurants, rental ski shops and the services are good. I have paid for a ski tutor service ( around 125 euros for two hours). He offers many comfort lessons and perfect service. It's my first time practicing ski and i love it.

Im netten Hofladen wird ausgezeichneter Ziegenkäse verkauft. Die Ziegen können -auch im Stall- aus nächster Nähe betrachtet werden - für Kinder eine Attraktion. Man kann zu bestimmten Zeiten auch beim Melken zusehen.

Reviewed By KBook7 - Lyon, France
Went there as grandmums wanted to bring grandchildren there, it felt kitsch-y at first and I was sort of regretting it, but we had a coupon for a discount and the price was ok, and I saw there were special rates for adult plus kids offers so I guess not too bad for families. The fun bit was at the entrance: all the children were given a wand each, to wave at different points of the visit to "wake up" the toys. I think that was the best bit, even ten year old got in the game with that. The place is actually quite big, liked the idea of the outdoor garden, so we were not stuck indoors the whole time, there were lots of umbrellas to borrow at the garden entrance and in the end it didn't rain so we didn't need them. If you get into the spirit of things, it can be quite fun, lots of antique-y toys and artifacts and posters and "oh I used to play with that" stuff around for the adults to point out to the kids. A bit early for Christmas but there is a Santa village/section bit which made my kids sing jingle bells for a week after. My favourite is the Provence village section, with all the different bits of village life animated (the baker, the blacksmith, the farmer, the lavender lady, the market etc), that was really nice. There was a little attempt to explain how automates work, I wish they had done more about that for the adults, but then younger kids weren't too keen to know how it works, it only interests the older kids, who were probably dragged there by younger siblings anyway. Kids under 7 would have a blast I think, waving wands and waking toys up, looking at the circus and jungle and toy trains and cars and all sorts. Thought we would stay only an hour and ended up loitering there for two hours, the kids had fun and the adults were not bored, so that's quite good I think!
5. Grotte de Choranche
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 466 reviews
In the heart of the Vercors region, explore this cave hidden within the magnificent Cirque of Choranche. Let yourself drift... The waters of the underground lakes and rivers flood the crystal whiteness of the rock formations with Emerald green reflections. The stalactites, called straws are the great sights of this cave: they are very thin, very fragile. There are thousands of them in Choranche which is a unique scene in Europe. During the tour, your eyes may catch sight of a cave dwelling animal which is a survivor from the prehistoric era: the Olm... In the Cathedral Cavern, the new Son&Lumiere is an invitation to dream : let your imagination immerse in the underground world for an amazing show... Choranche's Son & Lumiere show for each tour.

Amazing place, very interesting for all ages. Super light-musik show and very old anymals (small dragons). Perfect for all, parking close to attraction, small walk to the Grote. Interesting story and special mystical atmosphere. Nice view to the Mountains ! My very strong recommendation !
6. Parc Naturel Regional du Vercors

Trekked the plateau for a week on snow shoes. Only met other people twice. The remoteness and the beauty of the area is stunning.
- Approach the plateau from the North (Villard-de-Lans) or West if you want to avoid steep climbs, for example when traveling on ski randonne nordique / cross country skis.
- The passes on the Eastern side are steep and prone to avalanche risk. They do offer amazing views though.
- There are various open huts in the park which you can use to sleep. Don't count on anything being provided though.
- There is little to no cellphone reception in the Southern part.
- Stick to the trails in winter; there are a lot of crevasses in the ground which may be covered by snow.

9. Lac de Monteynard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 134 reviews
Reviewed By FordPrefectII - Metz, France
Great for hiking and biking (I ran a race here while my partner brought his bike along), with some truly astounding scenery on the summits. The himalayan footbridges were quite a special experience, although some, especially young kids, may be frightened by how it sways with a load and a strong wind blowing - I'll admit I was personally petrified.
The artificial lake is best visited in the height of summer, when jumping into the clear waters brings amazing relief. There are several water sports and rentals available in the area.
There's food and facilities in the area. Great way to spend an entire day (or weekend, or a whole week...) in summer.

Reviewed By Claire-Alan - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
What a fantastic discovery than this little ski station ! Only 5 ski lifts but enough pistes. Not crowed at all since no many people seem to know about it. And very cheap comparing to all stations... you can rent all the material you need (very friendly staff) for the day or half a day or lunch time only. And the ski lift pass was only 7 euros p.p. for half a day. Don't forget to go at Coeur de montagne for lunch, diner or just an afternoon sweet, see my next review. Hardly recommended then.
