Whether you’re looking for something adventurous, happy, easygoing or bold, there’s a winter for you in the French Alps. Isère’s resorts cover the lot, from world-class destinations to small, laid-back villages.

Below are a few ideas to inspire you, plus the practical details to help you choose the right resort. Full throttle or slow and steady, it’s all about having a good time.

Adventurous

Big skiing & big thrills

Head up high and you’ll hit new heights. Ski across open slopes above the tree line, with endless runs to carve down and snow you can count on. If you want to be first on the lift and last off the mountain, these resorts are for you.

Happy (as a family)!

A real family holiday

Dreaming of the perfect winter getaway? Come to Isère, in the French Alps.

Each of its mountain ranges has a character all its own, and each promises a real escape and a sense of adventure.

Winter here is all about getting outside, whichever range you choose: Belledonne, Chartreuse, Vercors or the Oisans. Ski or snowboard, try something new on the slopes, share great moments with family and friends, and treat yourself to some local specialities along the way. Pack your bags and head for the mountains. Isère is waiting.
