Mountain resort Le Barioz

In the heart of the Belledonne forest, the Barioz resort offers a family getaway just 30 minutes from Grenoble. Combining an alpine ski area, known as the Grand Plan resort, and a vast Nordic area, this resort promises unforgettable winter and summer experiences.

Under the magic of winter

Le Barioz boasts one of the most extensive Nordic ski areas in the Belledonne massif, with 52 km of classic and skating trails. Snowshoeing enthusiasts will also find plenty to do on the 8 km of marked trails. Special events, such as an introduction to biathlon or a Nordic race, regularly enliven the area, offering a new perspective on this enchanting domain.

The Grand Plan alpine ski area is a paradise for beginners thanks to its snow wire, while offering challenges for more experienced skiers on its red and blue runs. With a 240 m lift for the blue run and an 880 m lift for the red run, every descent promises its share of thrills.

Summer pleasures

In summer, Le Barioz opens the way to the Crêt du Poulet refuge, a jewel for hikers traversing the Belledonne mountain pastures. Easily accessible, this refuge is a popular destination for those wishing to marvel at the breathtaking panorama of the Belledonne massif and the Haut Bréda valley.

The resort is also on the itinerary of the Balcons de Belledonne cycling tour, with the Col du Barioz as a key stage.

Spring awakens

As the snow melts, Barioz is transformed, giving way to nature in its Nordic and Alpine areas. The trails are ideal for mountain biking and leisurely walks.

Autumn, a season of colors and flavors

Autumn envelops the Barioz forest and the Belledonne massif in a palette of warm colors, ideal for picturesque hikes. Beyond the visual spectacle, it’s also the season for gourmets, with mushrooms and chanterelles being picked in the coniferous undergrowth. It’s the perfect opportunity for enriching and rejuvenating family outings in the great outdoors.
