An IGN map for exploring Isère

The IGN TOP100 Isère map is ideal for planning a trip to a department offering great diversity—from valleys, plateaus, and forests to historic towns, major mountain ranges, and mountain roads. It provides a clear overview of the region, making it easy to plan your travels.

With a scale of 1:100,000 (where 1 cm equals 1 km), it allows you to visualize distances, access points, roads, and major routes. This helps you plan a circuit, choose your stopovers, and link multiple sites in a single day.

It covers areas including Grenoble, Vienne, and the Alpine regions near Écrins National Park. It is therefore a highly practical map for planning nature outings, cycling routes, or sightseeing trips in Isère.

Hiking, cycling, and grand Alpine landscapes

Isère is a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts. With its mix of valleys, plateaus, forests, greenways, quiet backroads, and Alpine terrain, there are countless opportunities for excursions.

For hikers, this map helps identify hiking trails and major walking areas. It assists in selecting a zone, planning access, and organizing an itinerary. However, for precise on-the-ground navigation along a specific route, a local IGN TOP25 map remains the better choice.

It is also an excellent planning tool for cyclists. Cycle routes, greenways, quiet roads, and mountain passes allow you to plan loops, stages, or cycling getaways connecting Grenoble, Vienne, the valleys, the plateaus, and Isère’s mountain ranges.
