Things to see and do Rhônes-Alpes

A beautiful church within which you will discover, among other things, a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Christopher and another of the polychrome and gilded wood from the Virgin to the Child. The two dates of the th century.

In the heart of the town, a house dating from 1888 where rich collections are presented to honour the men of the country, their work and their way of life. You have to go upstairs where souvenirs, objects and documents open the way to the discovery of the Four Mountains. Through an attractive itinerary, everyone can discover the work of forestry, handicrafts, winter sports, climate control or daily life, not forgetting the exceptional collection of yokes. Temporary exhibitions. A visit not to be missed.

This mountain church has a simple charm and serves as a "lighthouse" for this mountain range marked by spirituality. This 12th century church, which borders the road that climbs to the Porte pass, has been altered twice, notably in the 19th century with the help of the monks of the Grande Chartreuse. To see: a small stained glass window from the 16th century bearing the symbol of the Carthusian order, an element of a gilded wooden altar from the 17th century, a wooden Virgin from the 18th century, the stained glass windows created by the painter Arcabas.

Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse is a small village of 1,000 inhabitants located at an altitude of 900 meters in the heart of the Chartreuse massif. It is surrounded by emblematic peaks such as Chamechaude, Charmant Som and Grand Som. In winter, the village is transformed into a ski resort thanks to the gondolas that take you up to the slopes of the Coeur de Chartreuse ski area. This is the largest ski resort in the Chartreuse massif, offering magnificent scenery and a friendly atmosphere. For those who prefer ski touring, it's possible to take a course at the Ski de rando center in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse. Finally, to relax after a day on the slopes, Oréade Balnéo's open-air Nordic baths are an experience not to be missed. The nearby village of Saint-Hugues boasts a church housing a museum of contemporary sacred art.

In Saint-Maximin, a thirty-three meter tower erected in 1895 on the ruins of an old medieval castle, by the Carthusian monks in honor of Saint Hugues d'Avalon, Carthusian and bishop of Lincoln at the end of the ^12th century, where documents on ancient rural life are presented. Exhibition of paintings and sculptures. Visit to the chapel of the Tower of Avalon. Panoramic view on the Grésivaudan valley from the top.

The Saint-Michel peak, like the Moucherotte, dominates the Grenoble basin. To make this pleasant hike you can leave from different hamlets of Lans-en-Vercors. The shortest step is to drive by car to the Tallow Parking car park (on the road to the snow stadium). The Allières (cottage-restaurant) are available. From here you can take a circuit by joining the Arc de l'Arc, then the Saint-Michel peak through its southern edge. The descent will take place through a beautiful trail that leaves a little north of the summit.

A new ecological way to visit the city, guided by a cyclonaute at the handlebars of its electric tricycle. Well in the shelter, but taking advantage of the panoramic roof of the equipment, you can see the city other than the rhythm of the bike. Discover the most picturesque streets through a walk that lasts more than half an hour through the Grenoble of yesterday and today. Pleasant discovery and ease of use, since it is very easy to "catch" a walk in the city centre or reserve a very quick availability at the foot of the hotel.

The 7 Laux ski resort, just 35 km from Grenoble and 50 km from Chambéry, is an emblematic part of the Belledonne massif. Offering splendid scenery overlooking the Grenoble basin and the Grésivaudan valley, it is the largest ski area in the Belledonne chain and one of the most modern lift parks in France. Whether in summer or winter, Les 7 Laux offers a wide range of sporting activities to suit all tastes.

Gresse-en-Vercors is a charming village in the Vercors massif in Isère. Nestled at an altitude of 1,200 meters, it offers splendid scenery and a breathtaking view of Mont-Aiguille. The resort-village of Gresse-en-Vercors is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts, with downhill, cross-country and hiking ski trails, as well as snowshoeing routes. Snow activities are available all year round, and there's something for everyone: tobogganing, ski touring, dog sledding and more. In summer, hiking enthusiasts will be delighted with the many trails and walks to discover, including the ascent of Grand Veymont, the highest peak in the Vercors. Gresse-en-Vercors also offers other outdoor activities such as mountain biking, paragliding and laser biathlon. For wellness enthusiasts, the resort offers relaxation activities such as yoga hiking and massages.

This easy hike can be done on foot in summer or snowshoes in the winter. Two paths lead to the old village and the Plateau plateau. The first part of the village itself of Gears. The second (sharper and more direct) part of the hamlet of Fournel. The old village of Sornin is easily reached, with a very interesting water point in summer. By continuing, beyond north-northeast, you can reach the tooth of the Wolf, which is a beautiful viewpoint on the valley of Isère and on the Chartreuse. This summit is (alas) easily recognisable because it runs a high-voltage line.

Well 10 m wide and 120 m deep, located above Villard-de-Lans (1 425 m above sea level). Accessible from Villard-de-Lans via Bearded Bois, or from Corrençon in Vercors.

8 km from Villard, on the road of Bois Bearded, you can find the ruins of Valchevrière. On 23 July 1944, the Germans completely destroyed this village, with the exception of the chapel. It is a pilgrimage place every first Sunday in September.
