- Note
- "L´Oisans is a region in the French Alps, located in the départements of l´Isère and Hautes-Alpes, and corresponding to the drainage basin of the River Romanche and its tributaries (Eau d´Olle, Lignarre, Sarenne, Vénéon and Ferrand). Between Livet-et-Gavet and Le Bourg-d´Oisans, the Romanche forms a deep gorge.
Its geographical definition coincides almost exactly with the former cantons of Le Bourg-d´Oisans (Isère) and La Grave (Hautes Alpes).
The Oisans covers parts of the massifs of Belledonne, Taillefer, Grandes Rousses, Arves and Écrins.
The highest point in the region is the mountain of Pic Lory, a subpeak of the Barre des Écrins which reaches a height of 4,088 metres, but the most symbolic peak is la Meije which is nicknamed the "Queen of the Oisans"." - (en.wikipedia.org 17.03.2020) - Latitude
