The Laurentière forest developed in a natural basin crossed by the Sava. The presence of deep soil and abundant water allowed the oaks and ash trees to flourish. Such high and dense afforestation is rare in Nord-Isère.
These particular conditions have allowed the development of a remarkable fauna and flora. In total, more than 1 species are known on the site!
During your walk, you will have the opportunity to come across many agile frogs that use ditches and ponds to breed in the spring. Damp woods serve as their living quarters the rest of the year.
The presence of dead trees favors the black woodpecker. The lodges he digs in the wood then serve as a breeding ground for bats (several rare species use the area).
Aware of the interest of the Laurentière forest, the Department of Isère has chosen to acquire the site in order to integrate it into the Sensitive Natural Space of the Save.
Today, management taking into account ecological issues, public reception and the promotion of timber from certain sectors is implemented in conjunction with local stakeholders.
A marked pedestrian loop (2km without elevation) is accessible to walkers. It will allow you to discover the beautiful forest atmospheres offered by the site. We ask that you stay on the trails to avoid disturbing wildlife. Plus, it's easy to get lost on unmarked trails.
The Laurentière forest is located in a humid zone. Boots are sometimes necessary in rainy weather. Likewise, mosquitoes can be abundant in spring and early summer.
Finally, access to the trail is prohibited in strong winds. The risk of falling branches becoming too great.
