Make the most of Chartreuse massif with hikes, snow-shoeing, down hill or cross country skiing (family ski resorts 10 km/ 7 miles away). The forests are gorgeous : you may encounter the local wildlife (chamois, black grouse, etc.). Local wildflowers are beautiful : rare orchids (sabots de vénus), lys martagon, ancolies. Les Atrus are only 7 km / 5 miles away from the northern edge of Chartreuse at Granier pass. There are many nice trails immediately accessible from the house.

For those who prefer strolling through vineyards, as close as 2 km from Les Atrus, wine producers will tell you all about their quality wines: “Abymes”, “Apremont” or “Gamay de Savoie “.

Others may wish to discover the shepherds’ cottages of the Chartreuse region, the famous Grande Chartreuse monastery, the cooperative cheese dairy, the St. Même cirque , au Musée de l'Ours, etc…
