Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans is home to a good number of treasures… Its territory covers 1/5th of the Écrins National Park, as well as a part of the ski area, Les 2 Alpes.
Saint-Christophe is the land of mountaineering and one of the most well-known areas of the high mountains in Oisans, along with Bérande. The natural riches and wild nature of this glacial valley are truly one-of-a-kind, making it the ideal place for hiking.
The heart and soul of this land is its wide-open spaces.
Gaston Rébuffat
It thrives on the fresh air and skies.

Leisure activities
A magical place for all mountain activities!
Hiking: on foot, as a family, sporty hikes, camping under the starry sky, on a marked trail, on a donkey, glacial, on skis, and so on.
Climbing: climbing, via ferrata, mountaineering, ice falls…
White water sports: rafting, kayaking, hydrospeed, hotdog, fishing, etc.
Come and explore Ecrins National Park, discover its natural riches and charm. Why not stay a while longer and stay overnight in a refuge (8 in the surrounding area).
And finally, don’t come to Saint-Christophe without visiting a museum, either in the village or one of the surrounding hamlets. The road that then leads to Bérade will take you through the magnificent landscapes of the mountain peaks.

“Mémoires d’Alpinismes” Museum
Right at the heart of Saint-Christophe, a stone’s throw from the moving cemetery where a number of famous mountain guides of Bérarde and Vénéon have been laid to rest, this museum is perfect for anyone who loves the mountains.
