We are in the "wonderland", in the Guillestrois, ideally located between the NATIONAL PARK of Ecrins offering treasures of beauty with its forests, pastures, torrents, waterfalls, lakes, and the REGIONAL NATURAL PARK OF QUEYRAS, "the country where the roosters peck the stars ", with among others SAINT-VERAN the highest village in Europe at 2042 m where you breathe the purest air of France.
Le Guillestrois offers a range of nature destinations of astonishing diversity. From the valleys of the Durance and Guil to the slopes of Risoul and Vars, through the heart of Val d'Escreins, classified as a nature reserve and integrated into the Queyras Natural Park. The Guillestrois mountains enjoy 360 days of sunshine a year and water is the major element.
At their feet, the villages of St-Crépin, Eygliers, Réotier, St. Clément, Guillestre and Mont-Dauphin (5 minutes) with its stronghold built by Vauban at the end of the 17 th century, an architectural jewel, now classified as heritage UNESCO World Heritage Site, are superb places of discovery.
At 950 m, the chalet's location offers many advantages.
You can walk to shops near the village of Saint-Crepin (bakery, grocery, post office, restaurants).
At 5 km you will find shops and supermarkets on GUILLESTRE and ARGENTIERE-LA-BESSEE, the nearest villages.
This is the ideal base camp for all-season holidays thanks to a subtle mix of lakes, rivers and mountains combined., "The sea to the mountains" ..
the range of activities to be practiced in the area is considerable:
- Paradise for hiking or mountain biking, from the simple family walk to the most sporting hikes;
- White water sports (rafting, canyoning etc ...);
- Climbing ; via ferrata ; paragliding;
- Gliding in the heart of the mountains to overfly extraordinary landscapes among the most beautiful in France. Takeoffs assisted by a cable preserve the tranquility of the place and we admire the gliders evolve gracefully as large silent birds under the blue sky of the Hautes-Alpes!
- Horse riding ;
- Bicycle tourism ;
- Peach ; swimming (the sea in the mountains ...);
* It should be noted that Saint Crépin offers a base of canoe-kayak where you can slide deliciously on the Durance and for more sensations on the Guil, one of the last wild rivers of Europe, in the middle of fascinating gorges!
A FEW WALKS AND IDEAS DISCOVERED NEARBY (3 to 5 mn):
* The strong place of Mont-Dauphin built by VAUBAN in a grandiose site, at the confluence of the Durance and Guil, 3 km;
* The small medieval village of SAINT-CREPIN built in snail perched on a rock of pink marble with its forest of thuriferous junipers (extraordinary point of view on the valley and the Durance);
* The charming village of GUILLESTRE, its old neighborhoods protected ramparts from which you can contemplate magnificent views to 5 km;
* the poetic body of water of Saint-Crépin next to it, isolated from the roads, not mentioned on the cards, which turns into summer season in a true base of leisures;
* the Mont-Dauphin marmot trail at the foot of the Place Forte where you can admire the panoramic view (the marmots live in freedom and just sit in front of their burrows to see them appear!) at 3 minutes;
* The legendary petrifying fountain of Réotier at 5 minutes, heritage treasure and geological curiosity to see absolutely. To note a huge victory for the commune of Réotier which values its natural heritage thanks to its unique spring water whose image is now conveyed throughout the world thanks to the brand L'Occitane with its new cosmetic range "Aqua Réotier";
* Extension of the walk to the fish farm of the Trout Fountain in an idyllic and natural setting;
* the hot springs with beneficial properties of the Phazy Plan at 5 minutes;
* the mysterious descent of the rue des Masques on the heights of Guillestre overlooking the gorges of Guil and its splendid waterfall that ends its race in the void. The landscapes are striking! The "hand of the titan" arises incredibly from Guil! at 10 minutes;
* The beautiful lake of Eygliers for the joys of swimming and its leisure base 5 minutes, tree climbing, horseback riding, pony rides, fitness trail, fishing, etc ...
* At 5 km, the La Roche-de-Rame lake, very popular for water sports and swimming, is also the starting point for superb hikes, the lakes of the ascent and Lauzet in the colors of Emerald.
* At 10 minutes, the Argentière-La Bessée, high place of the white water for the joys of the rafting, will propose you the visit of the Silver Mine of Fournel and the Museum of the Mine, unavoidable places.
* Nearby, the Fournel Valley, secret and wild, very accessible and little frequented, with the most important alpine reserve of the magnificent blue thistle, the Deslioures reserve.
It offers a beautiful pastoral walk between pastures, undergrowth, waterfalls and the torrent of Fournel. It's just wonderful ! heaven on earth where marmots abound at the feet of waterfalls!
* In 30 mn, in the Queyras, in addition to the splendid village of St Véran, you will discover FORT QUEYRAS, another work of VAUBAN, medieval castle-fort emblematic of the area.
* At 20 minutes, you will enjoy the wide open spaces of the Embrun Water Plan with its many amenities; Sport and relaxation assured!
* At 30 minutes, the wonderful lake of Serre-Ponçon will offer you its natural riches, its aquatic activities and its magnificent Animal Park;
* At 30 minutes, the beautiful fortress of Briançon (the highest city in France) with the "Vauban city" or "gargoyle" is a popular place for a walk, steeped in history.
* At 45 mn, you will also be able to taste the delight of a naturally warm water to the Grands Bains de Mônetier (documentation on www.grandsbains.fr)
IN WINTER :

Note that in February 2015, the restaurant 'Les Tables de Gaspard' in Saint-Crépin receives a star in the Michelin guide.
We highly recommend the restaurant "Le Guillestrin", rue Sainte Catherine in Guillestre (6 km), a very good table, excellent hospitality and very good value for money.
Also the restaurant "chez Lacour" in Mont-Dauphin station (3 mn).
