In the heart of Chapareillan, the Saint-Blaise and Notre-Dame church blends Romanesque, Gothic, and modern elements. Remodeled several times, it retains a massive square bell tower and a sober interior. From the forecourt, the view opens onto the reliefs of the Chartreuse massif.

Between Grenoble and Chambéry, the Château du Touvet stands facing Belledonne, in a landscape of plains and mountains. Behind its 18th-century façade, you'll discover a terraced park and a spectacular, listed water staircase.

The small road of the Chartreuse balconies runs from Saint-Pancrasse to Chapareillan. Once past the Marcieu pass, it is very quiet in terms of car traffic. This is an area exposed to the rising sun (east face), so it is best to drive in the morning in winter and in the evening in summer.

Very difficult summit, 10% average for 12km from Le Bourget du lac, no respite. The view at the top is worth it and in high season there is a restaurant bar for refueling.
