Chamrousse

The resort of Chamrousse is located at the end of the Belledonne mountains, 30km away from Grenoble.

It extends on two levels : Chamrousse 1650 (Recoin) and Chamrousse 1750-1700 (Roche Béranger - Bachat-Bouloud) linked by the ski slopes and the forest tracks, for an overall area of 1300 hectares.

The resort was built in the forest, offering an outstanding overview of the Grenoble valley. 2250 meters high, the Croix de Chamrousse is the highest point.

¾ of Chamrousse commune is located in a protected natural environment, and is listed in the Natura 2000 area and ZNIEFF.

A biotope protection decree preserves the fauna and flora on the Arselle peat-bog, in order to prevent the disappearing of protected species on 44 hectares.

Lac Achard, arrival of a very nice outing on snowshoes, is also a listed site. Preservation areas for the Lyrurus tetrix, known as the black grouse, are identified in the resort. Information boards allow you to get to know the mountain fauna.

The resort signed the ANMSM chart together with Mountain Riders, committing itself to pay a particular attention to sustainable development so that our mountain remains beautiful and clean. This way, we keep an eye on recycling and on the organization of an annual collecting day at the end of the winter season.

90 kilometres of slopes and an area of 40,8 kilometres dedicated for cross-country skiing await families, athlectic ones and nature lovers!

New this year, the cable-car of « La Croix » is replacing the emblematic cable car of « La Croix de Chamrousse » and the chairlifts « Le Grand Couloir » and « La Croix ».

At the top, an exceptional overview :

• To the East : the Grandes Rousses and Oisans mountains
