General presentation
Grenoble et Oisans
Alpine town, nearby massifs, museums, mythical roads, valleys and sports hikes.
The discovery of Grenoble and Oisans revolves around Bastille, Oisans and Alpine Massifs. The stay thus alternates between urban life, mountain reliefs and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best-known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 7 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: demanding relief. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortress
Bastille
The Bastille, with its accessible slopes and views, gives a concrete reading of the Grenoblois slope and the city below. There is a sharp shift between protected space and open panorama. A non-precipitous passage reveals the circulation structure and uses of the places.
Mountain resort
Alpe d'Huez
The Alpe d'Huez is first imposed by its alpine scale and the succession of sectors that follow each other according to altitude. Between passing villages and open spaces, we move from a social rhythm to a feeling of great natural void. The site works well in sequence: climb, contemplate, descend by a different path.
Scenic route
Col du Lautaret
The Lautaret Pass is a door of perspective, both geographical and historical: ridge lines, wind blowing, plateau light. The journey requires a simple tempo, without wanting to check too many points; the views deepen when you stay long enough on some natural viewpoints.
