Getting here

"Gîte du Vercors" — Hameau de Lente, 26190 Bouvante

The D76 departmental road, which passes right in front of us, is the first road cleared of snow in winter, and leads straight to the Font d'Urle alpine ski resort (10-15 minutes).

Warning — when arriving via the D76 from Saint-Jean-en-Royans (near the municipal swimming pool and tennis courts), do not follow signs for Lente via Bouvante, but follow Lente via Col de la Machine / Combe Laval instead. If you enter the village of Bouvante, you have taken the wrong road: turn around and go back to Saint-Jean-en-Royans.
