Cholonge in three videos: lake sailing, the Grand Serre race and Matheysine

Three distinct films introduce Cholonge’s sailing club, its steep mountain race and the wider Matheysine landscape.

This short film comes from the Club Nautique de Cholonge’s own channel and introduces the sailing association on Laffrey lake. Its description says the presentation concerns the club in 2013, although the upload itself dates from 2016. That distinction matters: the clip is a useful glimpse of the club and its water-based setting, not a current timetable. The club’s 2026 season has ended, so check its latest access directions, reservation rules, equipment availability and wind restrictions before visiting.

Le Dauphiné Libéré’s recent report follows the Verticale du Grand Serre, a steep mountain race organized at Cholonge. The public description promises course images, finish-line interviews and a view from the summit, giving this selection a sporting perspective very different from the lake-club film. Treat it as coverage of an event, not as route guidance: the race calendar, conditions and permission to use mountain paths can change, so consult the organizer before setting out.

“Montez en Matheysine” is the intercommunal area's general promotional film, the opening clip in a six-video campaign about the wider Matheysine region. Its role here is to widen the lens beyond the sailing base and the Grand Serre race, placing Cholonge within its plateau territory. It is not a Cholonge-only itinerary and should not be read as proof that a particular attraction or service is open. Use the local commune and tourism pages for current practical information.
