This south-eastern corner of France offers an inspiring destination for summer rooted in adventure, wellbeing and tradition. Set amid a patchwork of alpine peaks, glacial valleys, tranquil lakes and rich grasslands, the region invites visitors to slow down and embrace a rhythm shaped by nature and local culture. Walking is one of the most rewarding ways to explore Isère and there are myriad trails to suit all levels and abilities, from family-friendly walks in the Vercors to high-elevation hikes in the Chartreuse Mountains.

The region is an equally exciting destination to discover on two wheels with trails for everyone - including Tour de France riders who will be whizzing through Isère for three stages of the world's most famous cycling race.

Tradition remains deeply woven into local life in Isère: local markets brim with seasonal produce, mountain cheeses and regional specialities including the famous Grenoble Walnut. Villages celebrate the summer months with festivals and events including the Medieval Festival in Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye and the Musiques en Vercors Festival, not forgetting the annual summer jazz festival in the old Roman settlement of Vienne.

Best of all, Isère is incredibly easy to reach: just a quick flight away from the UK and an easy three-hour train ride from Paris to Grenoble.
