Theys (Isère, France)
Theys is a mountain village located in the heart of the Belledonne range, about thirty kilometers from Grenoble. A high-altitude village, it stretches into hamlets between meadows and forests. The atmosphere remains resolutely alpine, punctuated by wooden chalets and winding roads that climb toward the resorts. Leys seasons are marked by outdoor activities in winter and hikes in summer.
Nature and landscapes
The landscapes around Theys offer views of the ridges and the steep valleys of the Belledonne. There are conifer forests, mountain pastures and panoramas overlooking the Grésivaudan valley. Morning light and autumn colors make the routes particularly photogenic.
Outdoor activities
Theys serves as a base for skiing and mountain sports. The municipality is close to the Sept Laux ski area, popular for alpine skiing and ski touring. In summer, trails allow hiking, mountain biking and exploring the pastures. Nature lovers also practice snowshoeing or cross-country skiing there depending on snow cover.
Heritage and architecture
Local buildings remain marked by traditional chalets and stone farms. The village retains a rural character, with barns and roofs adapted to heavy snowfall. The lanes and hamlets preserve a sober, functional mountain architecture.
