Centre Nordique de la Ruchère

Located between 1165 and 1450 m of altitude, with 35km of cross-country ski trails groomed for alternating and skating, it is a real plateau relief unique in the Chartreuse massif that welcomes you!

. The green, blue, yellow, red and black trails open up to you and lead to the magnificent meadows of Les Riondettes and Arpison. Four snowshoe itineraries of varying difficulty are entirely marked out by a team of mountain and Nordic skiing professionals.

The snowshoeing itineraries :
La pointe du Frou, 5 km
Tour des Riondettes, 7km
The Col de la Ruchère, 9 km
The Belvédère d'Arpison, 13 km


The network of varied trails leads through spruce undergrowth and soothing glades. Magnificent views from the Riondettes and Arpison lookouts.
