Discover Les Adrets

Les Adrets can be connected to its local history through Église Saint-André; the mountain and outdoor activities mentioned here, however, are located in Prapoutel and at the sites of the Les 7 Laux resort. When planning your trip, it is worth considering these locations separately: the church is the oldest building in the commune, while the Lac de la Jasse circular trail starts in Prapoutel and other activities are seasonal.

Église Saint-André: History and features

Église Saint-André is the oldest building in the commune of Les Adrets. It has been mentioned since the 11th century; when it was rebuilt in 1840, the original bell tower was preserved. The church’s current features bring together different periods: it houses a wooden Christ from the 15th century and a Madonna and Child from the 18th century, alongside modern stained-glass windows and a contemporary Stations of the Cross. Older sacred works thus stand alongside later artistic creations. The church provides a tangible point of reference for connecting the local history of Les Adrets with several dated works of art.

Prapoutel and Lac de la Jasse

Prapoutel lies at an altitude of 1,350 metres on the western side of the Les 7 Laux resort. From there, an 8-kilometre circular hike leads to Lac de la Jasse, reaching an altitude of 1,861 metres. The route to the mountain lake is considered family-friendly; a chairlift can make the climb easier in particular. However, its operation depends on the season and weather. So check whether the chairlift is running during your travel dates before setting out. Lac de la Jasse lies below Dôme des Oudis. Meadows surround the lake and provide a scenic setting for a picnic. As local access conditions can change, it is advisable to check them before your hike.

Seasonal activities in Prapoutel and Les 7 Laux

In summer, activities in Prapoutel include an outdoor pool, mini golf, archery, disc golf, orienteering courses, mountain biking, Trot’rX and numerous hiking routes. The seasonal offer may change, so check which activities are available during your travel dates. In winter, Prapoutel is a starting point for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. Snowshoe trails start at the three sites of the Les 7 Laux resort: Prapoutel, Pipay and Le Pleynet. Routes depend on snow and operating conditions. Guided snowshoe hikes may also include spotting fox and chamois tracks in the Belledonne Massif. These guided outings are available seasonally. The options therefore differ not only by season: you can set out on your own on snowshoe trails from several sites, while a guided hike may also include observing animal tracks.

Belledonne Outdoor and getting there

Belledonne Outdoor is located in Prapoutel at the Les 7 Laux resort. In the 7 Laux forest in the Belledonne Massif, there are seven adventure courses catering to different ability levels. Availability and layouts may change; check which courses are open before your visit. From the car park near VVF Villages, it is about a two-minute walk to the park. Belledonne Outdoor is 35 kilometres from Grenoble and 45 kilometres from Chambéry. The route from Grenoble to Prapoutel follows the A41 to Brignoud, then the D250 through Les Adrets, and from Col des Ayes, the D281. Les Adrets is therefore a named point along this route; the distances given, however, refer to Belledonne Outdoor in Prapoutel.
