Chartreuse Regional Natural Park, Regional natural park in Rhône-Alpes, France

The Chartreuse Regional Natural Park extends across 76,700 hectares between Chambéry, Grenoble, and Voiron, featuring montane meadows and mountainous terrain.

The French government established this protected area in 1995 to preserve the natural landscapes and promote sustainable development in the Chartreuse massif region.

The park territory maintains connections with the Carthusian monks who produce their traditional green and yellow liqueurs in the Grande Chartreuse monastery.

Visitors can explore 216 different natural environments through marked trails, observe wildlife including 1,142 butterfly species, and participate in guided nature tours.

The park contains three Natura 2000 sites and two nature reserves, protecting 3,777 animal and plant species across elevations ranging from 200 to 2,082 meters.
