So, can you ski in Pays Diois ?

Yes indeed! Our region is truly varied which means we have lavender fields in summer and snow in winter. From late December to March, the ski season is shorter than
in the Northern Alps but the weather is mild and welcoming. And snow and sunshine is really the perfect combination to make the most of your holidays !

The southern slopes of the Pays Diois are easily accessible but can reach up to 1,700 meters of altitude. It offers 2 family-friendly ski resorts with two very different terrains :
one is on the Vercors plateau, the other by the side of the sharp edges of the Dévoluy mountain but both are part of the preserved Nature Regional Park of the Vercors.

How about Cross-Country Skiing ?

Cross-country skiing is a popular and fun way to ride and gain speed… Imagine yourself gliding along in snow- white paradise: the prefect activity to commune with Nature ! 
Cross-country skiing is an intense and invigorating sport. You have a choice of two techniques: ‘Classic’ cross-country when you stride along with parallel skiis in two groomed tracks or
‘Skating’ a more technical and elegant style in which you gain more speed.

This sport that combines cross-country skiing with shooting targets with a rifle will be a sure hit with the young ones !
