Here we live to the rhythm of the seasons:

At the end of the summer, the fields of blueberries and raspberries color and embalm the mountain.
At the beginning of autumn, the flamboyant colors of the larches are exceptional.
We return crops from the fields, and orchards, we dry the herbs for herbal teas.
Then slowly winter puts on its white coat, and snowshoeing is for you.
The bike path becomes a pleasant cross-country ski trail along the Isère.
The resorts open their ski areas.
Sled dogs take you on side roads.
The horses are harnessed to the skiers, and we discover the ski joering.
The arrival of spring signs the procession of colorful mountain flowers, melting snow inflates the flow of torrents, and gives way to summer.
