The Arselle plateau
Plateau de l'Arselle, a little Canada.
A peat bog and a plateau, that's the Plateau de l'Arselle in Chamrousse. This wooded setting is bordered by the Taillefer massif, and a breeze of freedom blows through.
A natural area to respect, protect and discover through activities on dedicated trails.
The Plateau de l'Arselle is part of the Espace Naturel Sensible (ENS) "Plateau de l'Arselle et lac Achard" as well as the Natura 2000 zone.
Fire and camping are therefore strictly forbidden (subject to fines).
