The Chartreuse Massif is a spectacular limestone pre-Alpine mountain range, nestled at the confluence of Isère and Savoie. It is characterized by high cliffs, such as the Dent de Crolles and Chamechaude, contrasting with deep forests. This territory is a vast karst phenomenon, rich in caves and sinkholes. However, its identity is primarily spiritual: it is the birthplace of the Carthusian monastic order. The Grande Chartreuse, where the order still distills its famous liqueur, bestows a mystical and wild aura upon the massif. Designated a Regional Natural Park, it is a prime location for hiking and mountain biking, offering breathtaking views of Grenoble and Chambéry.
