Communauté de Communes du Massif du Vercors

What Communauté de Communes du Massif du Vercors does

Communauté de Communes du Massif du Vercors (CCMV) is a French public intercommunal administrative body (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) established in 1968 and headquartered in Villard-de-Lans, Isère. It serves 12,474 residents across six communes (Autrans-Méaudre en Vercors, Corrençon-en-Vercors, Engins, Lans-en-Vercors, Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, and Villard-de-Lans) within the Plateau des Quatre Montagnes of the Parc naturel régional du Vercors. The organization operates as a statutory local government entity under French public law, governed by a community council and a President, with Philippe Baranger serving as Director General. CCMV delivers a wide portfolio of public services including waste collection and recycling (redevance ordures ménagères, set at €172 for 2025 with a 2.4% increase), water and sanitation management, economic development support, employment services through the Maison de l'Emploi et de l'Entreprise (MDEE) and Mission Locale Isère Drac Vercors, tourism infrastructure including the ViaVercors cycling itinerary (50+ partners across 50 km) and Transaltitude seasonal shuttle, cultural services (médiathèques, ludothèque), and seasonal worker housing coordination.

CCMV's technology footprint is conventional web infrastructure built on Django with a Bootstrap frontend, OpenStreetMap/Leaflet mapping, jQuery, and Handlebars templating. Its digital citizen-facing products include the vercors.org portal, the Illiwap mobile application (free push-notification app for residents), bimonthly email newsletters, a general-public triannual "Le Mag" magazine, and "Info Pros Vercors" newsletter targeting local businesses. The organization also operates the Telespace coworking space in Villard-de-Lans, with offices marketed at €168 HT/m²/year.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a French EPCI: local fiscalité (property taxes and other territorial levies), subscription-based waste collection fees, water and sanitation fees, and modest commercial rental income. CCMV operates with approximately 41 employees and a multi-channel service distribution model combining the Maison de l'intercommunalité headquarters, CCAS municipal offices, the mobile Bus France Services unit, and coworking facilities. Strategic activity in the past year has centered on economic development land preparation (the 7,900 m² Zone d'activités des Geymonds parcel developed with SEM Territoires 38 announced July 2024), tourism promotion events such as the Marathon du Vercors, and digital inclusion via Illiwap.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Suez Eau France: Major French private water and waste-services operator frequently delivering outsourced operations on behalf of EPCIs like CCMV. Comparable service lines (water distribution, wastewater, waste collection) but commercial and national-scale.
• Veolia Eau France: Major French private water and waste-services operator with overlapping service lines (water, sanitation, waste management) for local authorities. Useful benchmark for unit economics and digital service maturity that CCMV's in-house model is measured against.
• Grenoble-Alpes-Métropole: Large metropolitan intercommunal in the same Isère department. Operates the same functional competencies (waste, water, economic development, mobility) at vastly greater scale (~450K residents), illustrating the broader institutional archetype CCMV belongs to.

Direct peers

• Communauté de communes du Royans-Vercors: Direct neighboring intercommunal in the same Vercors massif, providing an identical functional scope (waste, water, sanitation, economic development, tourism) to a similar small rural population. Closest structural and operational peer.
• Communauté de communes du Trièves: Mountain rural intercommunal in Isère providing the same waste, water, economic-development, and tourism functions to a similarly small population. Comparable governance structure and constraint set.
• Communauté de communes du Diois: Mountain rural intercommunal in the Drôme department offering parallel public-service mandates (waste, water, tourism, economic development). Highly comparable in scale, terrain, and demographic profile.

Others

• Parc naturel régional du Vercors: Regional natural park authority that partners with CCMV on tourism, agriculture, and food-industry initiatives (e.g., Salon Professionnel Alimentaire du Vercors). Adjacent institutional actor with overlapping rural development mandate.
