Nature parks

At the heart of the Oisans, the Ecrins National Park stands out as the largest French National Park. Characterised by a rare mountainous authenticity, this area offers experienced hikers, silence and solitude lovers, marked itineraries to explore the sites and their natural treasures.

Set up on a natural limestone plateau, the park extends from Northern pastures to Mediterranean hillsides further south. This paradise for all those who crave the outdoors and open spaces is a perfect excuse to discover a much too secretly kept fauna and flora.

Cheese or dessert? Such a cruel choice to make! The same difficult choice as having to choose between a great family outing or enjoying fun activities? The Chartreuse with its variety of activities puts an end to this dilemma: on the menu, walks in nature -obviously since that is somewhat a local speciality- that come highly recommended by the regular visitors of this mountain range. And as for the ingredients, open spaces, large crunchy lime-stone settings, crispy forest valleys with a dash of museums, all safe bets.
