From the owner

Snowgums is situated in a quiet village on the edge of Briancon. Wonderful group or family accomodation in beautiful old farmhouse, right in the heart of Serre Chevalier! 300 days of sunshine a year!

Weekly bookings are usually Saturday to Saturday. Shorter or longer stays are welcome. Please ask for prices for your group and dates.

Two minutes from Chantemerle cablecar and the pistes. 10 minutes to thermal spa baths with sauna, hamam, flotation tank, indoor/outdoor pools etc. Easy access to all mountain sports, skiing, boarding, cycling, mountain biking, hiking, rafting, canoeing and lots more! In a village on the edge of Briancon, UNESCO world heritage listed fortified old town, with all amenities, just 5 minutes away. Apartments are very spacious, and there's an excellent ski room and a great games cupboard for all ages. All linen provided, including feather pillows and duvets. Free local bus takes you direct to Chantemerle cable car and the pistes. Self-catering accomodation but optional fine in-house evening meals by local chef Nathalie may be pre-ordered for one or as many days as you choose, from 25 euros per head per meal for four courses plus wine.

We are happy to welcome dogs, on the understanding that they are well behaved and don't damage furnishings. Price is 15€ per day per dog.

We regret that because this is a 250 year old building that it is not wheelchair accessible.

Air conditioning is natural throughout. Summer days are hot, but the mountains cool at night so that evenings and mornings are fresh and offer a good time for ventilation. There is solid protection from the heat with one metre thick walls, and plenty of ventilation through open doors and windows.
