At 2100 meters, the refuge of La Pra, close to the many clear lakes of the Massif Belledonne, will delight anglers, hikers and families. La Pra is also a wonderful pasture where you can encounter marmots, wild sheep and ibex.
The refuge is a stopover on the GR 738 from Chamrousse.

The surrounding peaks are often accessible in summer, either on footpaths or "off-track" for those who prefer less frequented areas (Vaudaine, Doménon, Croix de Belledonne sectors), as soon as the snow has disappeared.
You are entering a Natura 2000 protected area where swimming in rivers and lakes is strictly prohibited.

From the Pré Raymond parking lot, take the forest road, then a path to the left (south-east). A few hairpin bends bring you to an almost level path leading out of the forest. Cross the stream before reaching the dam and Lac du Crozet. Follow the path along the lake and up the Vallon de Mercier to the Col de la Pra. At the col, turn right (south) and descend to the refuge, 5 minutes from the col de la Pra.
From Chamrousse, from the parking lot at the foot of the Grande Aiguille, follow the GR de Pays, then pass between the lakes (GR 738). Climb slightly before descending into the combe de l'Echaillon. Turn left onto the path leading to the Oursière waterfalls, then right onto the path leading to Lac David. Climb up to Lac Léama, then on to Lac Longet and Lac Claret. Climb up to the refuge.
From the Recoin de Chamrousse, take the GR 738 to Lac Robert. Then follow the same route as the Croix de Chamrousse.

The Les 7 Laux refuge sits on an island at an altitude of 2,135 m, surrounded by the Rocher Blanc and the Pic de la Belle Etoile, and the clear blue waters of 12 mountain lakes.
Getting there : By Belledonne, two routes are possible among others to access the refuge: Fond de France or Le Pleynet. After Allevard les Bains, direction Fond de France or Le Pleynet. At Fond de France, the trail starts in the car park next to the gîte l’Essentiel. At Le Pleynet take the forest road at the end of the car park (the one up).

Located high above La Combe-de-Lancey at an altitude of 1,735 metres, Le Pré du Mollard refuge is one of the most unspoilt and little-visited spots in the Belledonne massif.

Situated in the heart of the Belledonne massif on the GR 738, the Habert d'Aiguebelle refuge (1,735 m) was completely renovated in 2017 from an old building that was once used as a sheepfold.

Medical sciences museum of Grenoble was created in 1992 thanks to the initiative of several hospital decision makers concerned about preserving the history of their institution.
The preservantion of the hospital's heritage, undertaken by many hospital workers long before the creation of the association, is a field in which the CHU of Grenoble invests itself fully, thus opening its doors in partly to the cultural sphere. A building filled with history was made available to the Grenoble Museum of Medical Science at the northern hospital--the old chapel of Tuberculosis victims, also called the Chapel of the Asylum for the Aged, named for the ensemble of pavillons in which it is located. Today, the geographic situation and the theme of the museum make it an unusual site at the heart of the hospital where ideas can come together and debates can take place. One of the hospital's objectives and one of the museum's missions is to showcase the hospitals rich collection, but also to change mentalities and do away with preconceived notions, making the hospital a place just like any other. Basically, it's all about showing what the hospital once was, what it is today, at the same time much like other hospitals and specific thanks to its location in Grenoble.

The renovated property of painter Ernest Hébert invites visitors to step into the artist's 19th century world and to discover his work through the presentation of his collections.
The Hébert museum of La Tronche is a somewhat unusual museum: sheltered behind walls, this two and a half hectare estate has protected itself from the wears of time. The artist's house has held onto the spirit of the place and the intimate character of a family house. The garden, sometimes hidden in the shadows, still holds onto the artist's memories of Italy. The museum, as soon as it opened in 1979, set a double mission for itself: encourage a better knowledge of 19th century art through the artist's collection and to promote contemporary artists, both aspiring and confirmed.

The permanent exhibit halls take the visitor on a journey through Ernest Hébert's long artistic career via his works and those of his friends. They illustrate the academics, whose complexity and importance we are rediscovering today and which sheds light on official art. Between the romanticism of Eugene Delacroix and the symbolism of Gustave Moreau, Hébert paves the way for a deeper understanding of 19th century aesthetic movements.

The painter
Ernest Hébert (1817-1908), after having studied at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and winning the Grand Prix of Rome for historic painting, became famous with "La Malaria" which he presented at the 1850 Salon. A flourishing career was set before him and he shared his time between France and Italy, where he served twice as director of the Academy of France in Rome (1867-1873 and 1885-1890). He very soon became a sought-after portraitist for high Parisian society during the Second Empire and Third Republic, where he frequented upper class salons. Hébert keenly expressed the poetry and secrecy of his feminine models, but it was in Italy that he found the most inspiration, preferring to depict rural scenes imprinted with a melancholic realism. He was responsible for the mosaic on the apse of the Pantheon, inaugurated in 1884.

The museum
Through a chronological and thematic layout, the museum presents Hébert's work plus the paintings and sculptures of his friends and students. His years of study, his life at the Villa Medicis, his stays in Italy, the two terms he spent as a director, and his Parisian career are presented.

The recreated studio has been restored to its original function.

The numerous drawings included in the collection are presented in rotation, in the drawing room, set up in one of the house's bedrooms (2nd floor).

The house
The house recreates the atmosphere that the artist knew with its period furniture and souvenirs, including the restored Laetitia Bonaparte salon. The impressive 17th century frescoes, uncovered during renovation work, depict the ancient history of the house. Numerous testimonies from Hébert's mentors—David d'Angers, Delaroche, his friends from the Académie de France in Rome, Gounod, Regnault,--and his patrons—Théophile Gautier or Princess Mathilde—evoke his career as well as illustrating the artististic wealth of the prolific 19th century.

The gardens
Set aside from urban life, the museum's park, with its shaded alleyways, rippling brooks, and trellises, has held onto the charm of the artist's "secret garden."

In 2004, it was recognized as a "Remarkable Garden," an award recently created by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. This label recognizes the garden's quality and charm, whose richness stems as much from its 17th and 18th century origins as from the modifications made by Ernest Hébert and his wife Gabrielle. The juxtaposition of well groomed, Italian style areas with English garden-type landscapes, the antique elements, and the numerous water basins are reminiscent of the Villa Medicis in Rome and make for an original setting, open freely to the public.

Since 1988, the Combe de Lancey Rural Museum has been housed in the outbuildings of the Château. It boasts a rich collection of objects and tools illustrating life in the hamlets of the Belledonne balconies in bygone days.
More than 1300 objects represent 5 themes: former activities such as glove making, clog making, smith working... It also shows how the houses were furnished, what life was like for an farmer in mountain areas.

La Maison Bergès [the Bergès family home] - Museum of Hydroelectric Power, standing at the foot of the Belledonne Massif, is an exceptional cultural heritage site which transports visitors back in time to the advent of hydroelectric power.

Conceived, designed and created by the artist Arcabas over a period of more than thirty years, this collection of one hundred and eleven paintings, stained glass windows, sculptures and furniture is one of the most accomplished examples of twentieth-century sacred art.
Located in an exceptional setting in the heart of the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park, the museum offers visitors a unique experience of encounter with the world of the painter and sculptor Arcabas.
Nowadays, it's rare to see a building whose interior volume is so vigorously possessed by color. Subordinate to the initial volume, but deliberate in the development of its expression, it takes root on the structure of the vault and blossoms in symmetry around the perimeter of the central vessel.
You have to enter this small mountain church, built in 1860, far from the world, to get the shock of this colorful mass, solemnly ordered, becoming a fiery speech, which goes from exordium to narration to end in the conversation of sacred texts. Small in construction, it suddenly becomes large, thanks to a unity of tone that absorbs and includes the entire chromatic scale, and all the diversity of plastic proposals.
Intended, conceived and realized by a single artist, abandoned and then revived over the course of more than thirty years, this unique ensemble ranks as one of the most ardent and accomplished achievements of contemporary sacred art.
After several years spent searching for church walls to paint, where he could express himself and his faith through painting, Arcabas finally came across the modest church of Saint Hugues and its parish priest, Raymond Truffot, in February 1952. The church was undergoing roof and floor repairs. The mayor, confident in his priest, agreed to an artistic intervention inside the church, graciously offered by this unknown painter. It was the beginning of an adventure, but also of a friendship between an artist and a priest, who placed his unwavering trust in the twenty-five-year-old until his death. But little does anyone know that the adventure itself will last thirty-four years.
