Alpine ski area — L’Arselle (Chamrousse)

Chamrousse offers a superb Nordic ski area on the Arselle plateau at 1,600 m altitude. In a setting open to the Belledonne and Taillefer massifs, the site has over 40 km of cross-country trails for both classic and skating technique, through forests and clearings. Covering 44 hectares, the Nordic Park stands out for its Canadian-style landscape — a natural environment classified as a Natura 2000 zone, ideal for total immersion through forests and clearings. The Nordic ski area is designed for families, beginners and experienced athletes alike, with a diverse and flexible sliding offering. The marked trail network totals around 49 km dedicated to cross-country skiing in both classic and skating styles, across 9 trails suited to all ability levels. The ski area also features a Nordic boardercross, adding a more fun and technical dimension. Beyond cross-country skiing, the Nordic Park is a true multi-activity space: 17 km of marked trails are specifically laid out for snowshoeing and walking. A marked ski touring route is also available, departing from Bachat Bouloud to the summit La Croix. Supervised biathlon sessions using laser rifles are offered by the ski schools. A free toboggan area is accessible to all, including children. The offering is rounded off by dog sledding and fat biking on snow.
