The nordic skiing area occupies a plateau and opens onto the beautiful meadows of the Riondettes and the Arpison. Ski-touring is also on offer here - on the slopes of the resort’s highest point, le Petit Som (1770m high) - as well as marked snowshoeing tracks. Do not expect much accommodation in La Ruchère, although it does boast a pleasant holiday cottage, where a stay will allow you to benefit from the tranquil ‘far removed’ feel exuded by the village, and to enjoy the beauty and authenticity of the Chartreuse environment.
