Isérables

The world is more beautiful… when seen from above!

Isérables is a municipality situated in the small alpine valley of the Faraz, which extends all the way from the Rhone valley right up to the Champs Ferret at an altitude of almost 2750m.  Literally stuck to the steep slopes like a limpet to a rock, the village of Isérables is home to a population of just over 800 people and its name comes from “érable”, the French word for maple, a sturdy tree which grows extensively in the area.
