Description

For this weekend dedicated to mushroom picking in the Vercors massif, I will find the best for you! Trumpet mushrooms, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, and a whole host of other species will be on the menu.

Around the village of Villard-de-Lans, I will take you on a walk in the forest to discover some great spots, and you will get there blindfolded... just kidding 😉.

After gathering in the forests of Vercors, you will learn how to sort and clean the treasures you have collected from Mother Nature over a glass of fine wine.

If you are interested in this theme, I also propose other outings related to nature and gastronomy:

And to get to know our mountains even better, I recommend this hiking and discovery holiday in the Vercors massif or this weekend of hikes around Villard-de-Lans.
