We live in a lovely small village in the massif of Belledonne.

Our village is an excellent base for hiking in massif of Belledonne and Chartreuse and also for a lot of sports: mountain bike, climbing, via ferrata, paragliding, tree climbing (accrobranche), equitation, archery and tennis.
We are at a 10mn drive from the ski resorts of 7 Laux (Prapoutel and Pipay) with plenty of activities during summer
(http://www.les7laux.com/index.php/fr/menu-animations.html) and a swimming pool with waterside.

It is about 30 mins from Grenoble City with its cable car (the famous "Bubbles") to the top of the city: the fortress of La Bastille.
We are closed (15 mn) to the funicular railway of St Hilaire du Touvet (known worldwide for para and hang gliding) with a view up to the Mont Blanc.
We are only 1 hour drive from Annecy lake and city (called "Venice of the Alps").
We are at 45mn from Aix les bains and its lake.
We are at 1h from an amusement park Walibi (http://www.walibi.com/rhone-alpes/fr-en).

You can reach shops after a 10 mn walk: butcher, bakery, grocer's, news agent, bar and restaurant.
