Winter family activities
Winter and Isère go hand in hand, and this season promises pure enchantment. Here’s just a taste of why you should take your children to the mountains (or plains) of Isère for a magical winter holiday: imagine swimming under the ice, enjoying a raclette in the woods or sharing a fondue over an open fire and experiencing the dogsledding or dog trekking in the style of the Great North right in Isère.
Your family will create unforgettable memories in the snow with exciting activities, Alpine delicacies and unique experiences just waiting to be discovered.
