the Plateau of Le Fourchu, where sleep a hundred lakes, lies at 2000 meters above sea level. Its endemic flora and fauna readily recall the northern tundra landscapes. The refuge is located in this unique setting; the path accessible for all ages.
Please note: this site has been awarded the Natura 2000 label and is subject to numerous measures to preserve its biodiversity. We therefore invite you to adopt the right reflexes when you come to protect this sensitive area.

The landscape here is reminiscent of the northern tundra, dotted with a myriad of small lakes and frog pools. Some of these lakes contain fossilized tree trunks in their sediments, testifying to the presence of the forest here 6,000 years ago. The entire plateau is classified Natura 2000, the European network of remarkable natural environments.
Come and enjoy the panoramic view of the Oisans mountains from the orientation table 50 m from the refuge.

Located in the oldest house of La Mure, the museum explains the history of Matheysine and its inhabitants, through exhibition of objects, maquettes and pictures.
In the heart of the old town there is the Maison Caral, home to the Musée Matheysin since 1994. La Mure’s museum houses collections relating to the Matheysine plateau, and the nearby Beaumont and Valbonnais areas. Archeology (prehistory, Roman Gaul and medieval periods) and the Wars of Religion (the Siege of La Mure in 1580) give way to rooms devoted to anthracite mining, peasant life, glove-makers and itinerant peddlers. These used to be the trademark activities of this mid-Alpine region. The last few rooms feature sculptors and painters of the region in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2012 part of the museum has displayed the work of abstract painter Claude Garanjoud (1926-2005). Exhibits also include the exhibition dedicated to Olivier Messiaen, a summer visitor to the Matheysine for more than 50 years. And each season the museum offers a new temporary exhibition.

The Musée des Minéraux has become the Galerie des Trésors Alpins (GALTA). It has undergone a makeover, taking you on a journey through 3 universes: crystals, treasures of the Oisans, an immersive journey to the heart of Alpine fauna and the new "Oisans in the eye of the comics" trail.
The richness of its mineralogical collection and the dynamic staging of the wildlife area make it a wonderful place to discover the natural and cultural heritage of the Oisans.
The museum is a member of the Route des Savoir-Faire de l'Oisans.
Guided tours led by the Centre de Géologie de l'Oisans, the Parc des Écrins and members of the "Club des Cristalliers" are available on reservation in July and August.

The world :

L'OISANS AUX QUATRE SAISONS
A sensory show (images and sounds) that takes visitors on a twenty-minute audio narrative explaining the life of Oisans wildlife according to the seasons and their layering in the great landscape. In partnership with the Ecrins National Park, the show raises awareness of the need to respect natural spaces and the animals that frequent them. This immersive show was created with the help of Jean-Marc Rochette, a comic strip artist who is very involved in the Oisans region. As a result, the trail is imbued with a unique poetic and sensory atmosphere. The trail is available in French and English.

CRYSTAL, A TREASURE OF THE OISANS
A brand-new heritage trail showcases the region's most emblematic crystals: Epidote, quartz, axinite, anatase and siderite have all found their home! In an interplay of transparent surfaces, the tour is organized around three themes: geology, local heritage and crystallography. A large part of the exhibition is devoted to crystallographic marvels. We learn how crystals are formed, and the origin of their shape and color.

THE OISANS IN THE EYE OF COMICS
The 8th art makes its entrance to the museum to magnify the Oisans and those who live here. Beautifully illustrated by Clara Debray's drawings and Éric Savoldelli's comic strips, this new tour also features a host of audio-visuals, podcasts and sensory walks.
Structured around five themes, the tour explores the links between man and nature, the fascination of the "great landscape", the adaptations required to cope with the rigours of the territory, and the challenges that drive people to surpass themselves, not forgetting the "great firsts" of the pioneers who left their mark on the Oisans with their sensational adventures.

The Musée de la Romanche traces the industrial, energy and human history of the Romanche valley, an area shaped by water, hydroelectricity and the development of major industries.
The Musée de la Romanche, located in Livet-et-Gavet, was created in 2001. It traces the industrial, human and energy history of the Romanche valley, an area shaped by water, fed by five torrents, and which over time has become a major economic factor in Isère.

On the 1st floor, a space is dedicated to Charles-Albert Keller, an emblematic figure in local industrialization and a pioneer in the development of hydroelectricity in the valley. The Keller space features an immersive museography showcasing numerous models, some of which have recently been restored. These spectacular models were once presented by Keller at world and international exhibitions, illustrating the industrial innovation of the time.

The 2nd floor is dedicated to the other industries of the Val de Livet, which accompanied the start-up and expansion of industrialization in the valley: the Neyret paper mill in Rioupéroux, steel and synthetic iron production in Livet, aluminum production in Rioupéroux, and calcium carbide production in Gavet with the CUAEM group. This space also highlights the social and territorial impact of this industrial activity on the hamlets of Livet, Rioupéroux and Gavet, and on the daily lives of their inhabitants.

The Musée de la Romanche thus offers a fascinating discovery of a unique industrial heritage, in the heart of a valley where nature and industry are closely linked.

The museum is a member of the Route des Savoir-Faire de l'Oisans. It organizes guided tours of the museum (by appointment).

The museum traces the history, techniques and applications of the chemical industry in southern Grenoble from 1915 to the present day.

The castle shelters the museum of the French Revolution since 1984. The collections gather pieces of art such as paintings, drawings, sculptures and engravings.
On July 21st 1788, the castle of Vizille entered History. The Etats Généraux of the Dauphiné meeting which had been forbade by Grenoble authorities had been thus sheltered by Claude Perrier. Seduced by the liberal ideas, his castle sheltered this meeting. 187 members of the Tiers Etats, 49 clergymen and 159 noblemen deliberated during 16 hours. In demanding the meeting of the Etats généraux this event is considered to have triggered the Revolution. The Salle du jeu de paume which was the witness of this event have burnt during the fire of 1865. Its implantation is now symbolised by a terrace planted with trees at the entrance of the museum.

The castle shelters the museum of the French Revolution since 1984. The collections gather pieces of art such as paintings, drawings, sculptures and engravings. One can see figurative piece of art too such as English and French ceramics, tapestries, materials and furniture. But one can also find French and foreign historical pieces such as (stones of the Bastille, swords of the National Guard) dating from the Ancien Régime to the 3rd Republic.

The site is composed of the catchment area of Lake Achard, as well as the valley and the vast peaty plateau of Arselle, which are crossed by the Salinière stream. This site has been included in the Natura 2000 (Europe) and ENS* (Department) networks.
Because of the peat bog that makes up the plateau, and its landscape, botanical and faunistic interest, the Arselle plateau is a natural area protected by an arrêté préfectoral de protection de biotope since 2019. The aim of this decree is to preserve the site and the plant and animal species present.
This peat bog is of a particular type, as it forms on acidic soils. Few plant species can colonize this environment (e.g. sphagnum moss, cattail and common butterwort). Droséra and Grassette are carnivorous species. These flowers feed on insects that provide them with the nitrogen they can't find in this poor soil. They capture the insects and digest them using enzymes contained in the viscous droplets they secrete.

Similarly, the forest, wetland and rocky habitats in the Lac Achard watershed and in the Vallon de la Salinière are home to a wealth of heritage flora and fauna, which led to an extension of the ENS perimeter, in order to preserve them in the face of increasing visitor numbers.

The site is home to many protected species: the Arctic cordillera (dragonfly), Vandeli's androsacea (flower), Frog orchid, Alpine newt (amphibian), Bearded vulture (bird), Alpine ibex, Schreibers miniopter (bat), and more.

Take to the trails to discover these rare and sensitive environments, accompanied by local guides: Bureau des Guides de Chamrousse and Belledonne en marche.

? Please note: burning, camping, fishing and swimming are strictly forbidden (under penalty of fine). Bivouacs are permitted on Lac Achard from sunset to sunrise (except from early May to late October + Infernet area) and strictly forbidden on the Arselle plateau. Please stay on the paths to preserve the fragile environment (the Arselle peat bog is classified as an APPB - Arrêtés Préfectoraux de Protection Biotope - and it is forbidden to go onto the plateau off the path).
