Chamrousse environment centre

History

At the end of the 1800’s, Chamrousse did not exist yet: no buildings, no sloppes and no ski lifts.
In 1911, the refuge of the French Alpine Club (CAF) was built within only 3 months, one of the most important buildings after the creation of the first "Chamrousse house", the famous Père Tasse refuge.
It has welcomed many hikers for 56 years before its new conversion in 2018.

These last years, the town hall funded the renovation and the former French Alpine Club chalet recovered his youth and a new name: welcome to the Chamrousse Environment centre! Its inauguration will take place on July, 8^th 2018 for the Celebration of seasonal migration.

Educational walk around the Heritage and Environment centre

Come and visit the educational trail and learn more about pastoralism, beekeeping in the mountains, sustainable development, fauna/flora and the sensitive environments of Chamrousse.

This project was made possible thanks to the financial support provided by the Leader programme (Espace Belledonne, Region, Europe).

Environment and heritage activities

Chamrousse Environment centre now hosts temporary exhibitions and activities on the themes of the environment and sustainable development.
They aim to raise awareness of our daily consumption and to open us up to the environment that surrounds us.
