Isère Isère lies on the western flank of the French Alps, between Savoy and the Southern Alps. Grenoble, a winter sports city, is the gateway to the mountain regions of Isère. Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes are the region's most popular destinations. In Alpe d'Huez, you can ski the longest black run in the Alps, and Les Deux Alpes boasts a snow-sure glacier. Due to its convenient location close to Grenoble, the ski resorts in Isère are easily accessible.
Most winter sports destinations in the Isère have ski-in/ski-out accommodation. It's incredibly nice that you can ski right up to your accommodation, but this often doesn't enhance the atmosphere of your stay. You can hardly call ski villages like Chamrousse and Les 7 Laux authentic. But if you search beyond the big and popular ski resorts, you can still find destinations in Isère that are both authentic and charming. Winter sports holidays in Isère will appeal to every type of skier.
