The Ski Resort
Between Chambéry and Grenoble lies the small ski area Col de Marcieu. There are 6 slopes in total. In the beginners area, the green and blue slopes are served by a drag lift, a rope lift and a magic carpet. Those who are a little safer on their skis can use the Grand Essart drag lift and enjoy the longer and more demanding slopes.
In addition to the pistes, there is an Espace ludique with a toboggan and tubing run. Snowshoe hikes are also offered here.
