Built at the base to allow lifting the building materials of the Petites roches health facility to be built, the funicular still transports tourists after 95 years. It is used by paragliders who jump from the Plateau de Saint-Hilaire (especially during the Icarus cup) or by people who simply want to walk on a Plateau de Chartreuse and offer a grandiose view of the Vallée du Grésivaudan.

The oldest rail road train in the Alps, the Funicular de Touvet brings a real moment of emotion. Its climb up the slope of the Massif de Chartreuse amazes most people. But it is especially on the descent that the funicular is the most impressive with a vertiginous dive into the Vallée du Grésivaudan.
Hold your breath, it’s going to be fine!






Why do we have to go there?
