NORDIC SKIING

Do you love wide open spaces, nature and the great outdoors? Take to the marked Nordic ski trails. Follow the loops through forests, plateaux and clearings. This is your chance to take in some of the most beautiful scenery in the Belledonne region, while enjoying a moment of freedom and relaxation.

PRAPOUTEL-BELDINA NORDIC SKI AREA

Away from the hustle and bustle of the ski lifts, take the time to breathe and enjoy Nordic skiing in complete freedom. Skating or alternating, the cross-country runs of the 7 Laux Nordic ski areas allow you to practise all the techniques of Nordic skiing.

Depending on the route you choose, you’ll have the chance to overlook the Haut Breda or Grésivaudan valleys.

Several areas dedicated to Nordic skiing

  • The Domaine Nordique de Beldina in Prapoutel has the largest number of runs at all levels, so there’s something for everyone. The longest loop is a 6km red loop. The others range from 3 to 5 km, not including the 0.1 km black run known as “le défi de Beldina”.
  • The white route at altitude in Le Pleynet offers 3 km of groomed pistes for skating at 1950 m, and is accessible from the Pincerie chairlift.
  • A few kilometres from Les 7 Laux, discover the Barioz ski area. This area offers 52km of groomed runs for Nordic skiing (skating and alternative) and 8km of marked snowshoeing trails.
