From Bourg-d’Oisans, follow the road towards Briançon as far as Clapier d’Auris
Follow the road to Venosc, Saint Christophe en Oisans and La Bérarde.
After Bourg d’Arud, a slope of 11% incline over 3 km will lead you to the ‘Plan du Lac’.
This is also one of the starting points for rafting on the wild river Vénéon. From the water sports base you will climb up to Saint Christophe en Oisans.
Then the road leads without effort to La Bérarde.
The view opens up on to one of the most spectacular landscapes of the Alps, including the majestic South-Western slope of the Ecrins mountains (4,102 m) which reveals all its splendour! (or maybe not…?).
The church of Venosc is a mixture of several styles. Built in the 9th century, it has undergone numerous modifications over the years.Romanesque church dating from the 9th century, but which has been modified and enlarged over the years. The modern nave was built in 1910 thanks to the Carthusian fathers. The altarpiece dates from the 17th century and is in the baroque style. The two saints are St Paul and St Peter. St. Peter and St. Paul are inseparable. They are the two pillars of the Church and tradition has never celebrated one without the other. St. Peter is the titular of the church and St. Paul the patron of the parish. The church is one of the best endowed in the Oisans, partly thanks to the donations of rich donors such as Jacques Rochette and peddlers who made their fortune. The bell tower houses the oldest bell found in the Oisans, dating from 1622.
