The best walks and hikes around Cras

Considered by local cyclists to be the most demanding pass in the Chambarans, it mainly connects the Isère valley to the municipality of La Forteresse.

The history and architecture of the church of Vatilieu (called Saint-Martin church) are part of the major waves of religious reconstruction in the mid-19th century in Isère. An octagonal bell tower: This is the most remarkable element of its silhouette, visible from the surrounding ridges. The Sentier Artistique des 4 Vents: A 5-kilometer rural art hike starts right in front of the church, displaying dozens of monumental sculptures on the ridges of the commune.

Vatilieu, a village in the South of Grésivaudan with 382 inhabitants, nestled in the hills of the Vinay region at an altitude of 600m, overlooks the Isère valley opposite the Vercors mountain range. It is in front of this magnificent panorama that the municipality of Vatilieu organized for 5 years, starting in 2010, the "Sculpture aux 4 vents" symposium. This event, unique in Isère, allowed, from 2009 to 2015, five French and foreign professional artists to create in 10 days a monumental work installed on a ridge path in the commune on the theme: "The search for harmony between the place, the texture and the subject." In 2015, a collection of 25 sculptures installed in situ, offered to walkers and art lovers on this five-kilometer loop, is a fine example of the decentralization of art in a rural environment. The sculptures created are visible all year round by following the signage in front of the church of Vatilieu.

Les Gorges de Roches Corbière is a peaceful and bucolic natural site located in Tullins in the department of Isère. Two calm fishing ponds at the start of the walk. The Corbière gorge: A cool and shaded valley where the "Grande Rigole", the overflow of the ponds, flows. The path crosses woods, runs along a wild boar enclosure and opens onto walnut orchards (AOP Noix de Grenoble).
