Educational trail
Starting from the Maison du Patrimoine et de l'Environnement in Chamrousse, at the gateway to the great natural areas of Belledonne, you can walk along an educational itinerary and discover its flora and fauna.
This educational trail is a discovery circuit of Chamrousse 1650 - Recoin with 6 points of interest:
- Maison du Patrimoine et de l'Environnement: former French Alpine Club (CAF) chalet renovated with exhibition space and a program of events.

- Tourist Office: a must for advice on everything to do in Chamrousse.
- Departure of the GR738 (summer): long-distance hiking trail that crosses the entire Belledonne massif (or just a day hike to the Robert lakes or stage 10 to the Pra refuge).
