We recommend staying at the Ecrin Blanc Resort Hotel, which is located in the heart of the area, and has a ski shop, the possibility to book ski lessons and even a snow flow ski room. There are also four delicious restaurants and a selection of swimming pools if you fancy a day away from the slopes.

Isere in France encourages mountain enthusiasts to explore the region while lightening their carbon footprint. By choosing locally owned accommodation, travellers will also be contributing to the local economy. We love the Chamrousse resort, where you can stay in an igloo made of 100% natural snow at the Igloo Village Blacksheep. It is bound to be a trip that you will never forget.
