Oursière Waterfall: the natural power of water.
The Oursière Waterfall is impressive, standing 80 meters tall.
Once very popular with spa-goers in the early 19th century, the successive waterfalls make it the most refreshing spot in the area. Between shady switchbacks and vertiginous streams, this place of rejuvenation is ideal for hot weather.
The ruins of the former chalet-hotel de l'Oursière are still visible just before you reach the final 80m-high waterfall.
It can be reached on foot, by hike or trail during the summer months, from the departmental road 111 up to Chamrousse, by parking in the parking lot next to the Auberge des Seiglières (or from the locality of "la Gafe").

Sustainable tourism
Like the winter sports, which is inseparable from the image of the Alpine mountains, the theme of water is a major issue for the Belledonne and Chamrousse massif. It is distinguished both by the great variety of its sites (lakes, waterfalls, marshes), places of tourist activities, and by a diversity of atmospheres, thanks in particular to a framework preserved on the environmental and landscape level.
