The Coteaux de Saint-Roch sensitive natural area (ENS) is located in the north of the department of Isère on the plateau of Isle Crémieu.

A Sensitive Natural Area is a remarkable site in terms of natural heritage (flora, fauna and landscape). The aim is to conserve the biodiversity of a defined area, while making it accessible to the public in order to raise awareness of the management and preservation of an ecosystem.

The Coteaux de Saint-Roch ENS allows visitors to discover three natural environments: The Grottes de la Balme caves and cliffs, the forest and the dry grasslands on a signposted trail (8 posts).

A walk through the heart of nature, accessible from an early age!
