Isère: A preserved natural setting where winter reveals itself in all its facets. Unusual activities, breathtaking landscapes and a warm atmosphere await you
4 hours from Paris and 2 hours from Lyon, Isère is one of the premier winter destinations in France – 21 ski resorts, some of the most legendary slopes in the French Alps: a perfect setting for those who like to slide down powdery slopes. However, the mountains in winter are no longer limited to skiing and Isère has understood this for several seasons already. All its destinations are reinventing themselves to imagine original activities and show their commitment to diversifying mountain holidays.
