  • Sensitive Natural Spaces

Discover the Sensitive Natural Area "Les Coteaux de Saint-Roch" and its three natural environments: The Caves of La Balme and its cliffs, the forest and the dry lawns via a marked trail (8 markers).

The Sensitive Natural Area (ENS) “Les Coteaux de Saint-Roch” is located in the north of the Isère department on the Isle-Crémieu plateau.

This label was obtained by the municipality of La Balme-les-Grottes (38390) in 2009 from the Department of Isère, which supports it technically and financially in its various management and preservation actions.

A Sensitive Natural Area is a remarkable site in terms of natural heritage (fauna, flora and landscape). The objective is to preserve the biodiversity of a delimited territory, while making it accessible to the public in order to be able to raise awareness about the management and preservation of an ecosystem.
