Vercorde
Vercorde, an office of independent instructors of the Vercors. Climbing, caving and canyoning led by passionate professionals. Small groups, all levels, Isère (38) & Drôme (26).
Passionate professionals, an exceptional territory
Vercorde is a group of climbing, caving and canyoning instructors who provide educational follow-up and carefully designed session content. Professionals who practise and teach their activities with passion and have been equipping cliffs for more than 20 years.
Our instructors live in the Vercors; Vercorde was founded in 2001. The supervision and management of the structure are handled collectively by the instructors. Only 7 % of the amount invoiced to local authorities is taken for Vercorde’s costs - the rest is paid back to them in full - and 100 % of the amount invoiced to individuals goes to the instructor.
Less than an hour from Grenoble, 1 h 30 from Lyon, Valence and Chambéry.
