About the Experience

🗺️ The immersive trail stretches 1.2 km through the forest.

⌛ The journey lasts approximately 1 hour—take your time to uncover all its mysteries.

👟 To fully enjoy Vercors en Lumières, wearing suitable footwear is essential. The experience takes place outdoors in a natural forest setting.

❌ Pushchairs are not permitted on the trail. However, they can be left at the reception area, and visitors can use a baby carrier instead.

❌ Unfortunately, the trail is not accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. As the experience takes place entirely outdoors on an unpaved forest path with uneven terrain, it may be difficult to navigate.
