At an altitude of 1,350 meters, the Col de Porte sector of the Chamechaude Nordic ski area offers pleasant Nordic skiing, and is a particular delight for those who enjoy gliding in the forest without the crowds.
The Chamechaude Nordic Ski Area connects the Col de Porte and Saint Hugues sectors, offering a vast area for cross-country skiing.
Located at the foot of Chamechaude—the highest peak in the Chartreuse range—this family-friendly resort offers good snow conditions.
The Col de Porte area also allows for regulated biathlon activities thanks to its certified shooting range, as well as downhill skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding.
The Maison de la Montagne of Grenoble-Alpes Métropole, which manages the cross-country ski area, welcomes you at Col de Porte (information / lift ticket sales / equipment rental: skis, cross-country skis, snowshoes, crampons / provision of picnic rooms for groups)
A network of local professionals is on site to assist you with a variety of activities (ski lessons, biathlon, nature excursions, etc.).
