Colonie du Pré de l'Arc is a campground with diverse camping spots for tents and caravans situated in the Belledonne mountain region near Grenoble. The site spreads across natural terrain with designated areas for different types of accommodation and activities.
The site was established in 1974 and initially operated without electricity, relying on local water pumps and generators for basic services. Over time, infrastructure was gradually improved to provide better conditions for visitors.
The site runs Catholic youth programs where children aged 6 to 17 combine outdoor activities with religious education. Visitors can observe how daily life here weaves together nature and faith through group meals and shared community moments.
Reservations require advance payment and submission of medical documents, vaccination records, and health insurance verification for all participants. Visitors should prepare these documents beforehand and confirm specific requirements with the site prior to arrival.
The kitchen operates using traditional cooking methods without modern appliances and sources fresh bread daily from a local bakery in Froges. This approach to food shapes the dining experience and connects visitors with local artisanal traditions of the area.
