Crets-en-Belledonne

The Belledonne massif defines the setting of Crêts-en-Belledonne — steep wooded slopes and high pastures give this dispersed commune in Isère a distinctly mountain-based rhythm. Created in 2016 from the former communes of La Ferrière, Morêtel-de-Mailles and Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard, it spreads across a varied section of the range rather than around one urban centre. Hamlets lie between forest and open land, while the upper reaches lead towards Belledonne’s alpine terrain. It is a useful place for understanding the quieter, rural side of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, beyond Grenoble and the major valley routes.
