Committed to welcoming and enabling disabled people to participate in sports, Chamrousse has developed a number of dedicated initiatives. In particular, it offers para-alpine and para-nordic skiing, organizes adapted training courses, and trains local professionals to facilitate access to sport for all.
Concrete initiatives complete this dynamic, such as Sport Days Winter, days dedicated to the discovery of board sports for people with disabilities, or Handi'Gliss days, organized by the Comité Départemental Handisport de l'Isère, around slalom, para-alpine skiing and para-hockey.
