Today, we're delighted to announce the opening of our new textile production workshop in Veurey-Voroize, near Grenoble! This project represents another step forward in our commitment to local manufacturing, with 650 m² now dedicated to Made in France, producing 40,000 items a year. Since 2014, we've chosen to relocate part of our production to Isère, despite the challenges, and today over 20% of our products are made in France. By choosing Raidlight, you are supporting the local economy, preserving unique know-how and helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Thank you to our teams, our local partners and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region for their support! Together, we're proving that it's possible to produce sustainably and innovatively, while remaining true to our values.

Since 2011, Raidlight, inventor of the Stations de Trail network in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, has been constantly innovating to offer trail runners the best courses and challenges. In partnership with Cœur de Chartreuse, we are proud to announce the complete refurbishment of the 9 trail routes starting from Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse. Thanks to the Raidlight Trail Experience platform, prepare your trail outings with a modern tool: a mobile geolocation and route-tracking application. Whether you're planning a day outing or your next trail weekend, the Chartreuse is ready to welcome you!

At 2,082 metres, Chamechaude is the highest peak in the Chartreuse massif. This impressive mountain reveals breathtaking panoramas and landscapes of remarkable beauty. Any route starting from Saint Pierre de Chartreuse will allow you to admire it, and it will become an invaluable landmark on your trail outings. If you've already climbed Chamechaude, share your memories in the comments! And if this summit is still on your list, what are you waiting for to conquer it?

The 12th Raidlight Trail Festival comes to a close. More than 1,900 people took part in all the events this year. A big thank you to all of you for your confidence.

Three intense days in which more than 1,900 runners took part in the various formats offered by the organising team.

Over the course of its history, the Cartusian Order has forged unique and strong links with the seven towns that have hosted a Chartreuse® liqueur distillery: Paris (1605 - 1737), Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (1737 - 1864), Saint-Laurent-du-Pont (1864-1903 and 1932 and 1935), Tarragona in Spain (1904 - 1989), Marseille (1921-1932), Voiron (1936 - 2017) Entre-Deux-Guiers (since 2018). As a symbol of this friendship, these towns and villages have signed the Chartreuse® Friendship Pact. The Fêtes de la Chartreuse are therefore a convivial way of keeping this Friendship Pact alive and perpetuating it around the Chartreuse trilogy: the Chartreuse massif, the Carthusian Order and Chartreuse® liqueurs. Every year, around the symbolic date of 16 May (16.05), a host of events take place in the towns of Saint-Pierre-de- Chartreuse, Saint- Laurent-du-Pont, Entre- Deux-Guiers and Voiron, always with a nod to Marseille, Paris and Tarragona.
