Geology excursion at Chamrousse, appointment at Heritage and Environment House.
Come and discover Chamrousse's geological heritage during a morning hike, accompanied by the Club de Géologie de l'Oisans (CGO).
Discover the wonderful world of minerals, crystals and other mountain treasures.
But why are crystals so beautiful? Why do they come in so many shapes and colors? How do they form? These are just some of the questions we'll be answering as we search for crystals in the field during this hike.
