The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Hautes-Alpes region

In the Haute-Alpes area, on the edge of Provence it is famous for it's association with Napoleon who marched through the area on his way to Paris after his escape from Elba. It is also noted for its sunny climate, boasting 300 days of sunshine a year. Ideal for walking and hiking in the Spring and early Summer. Kayaking and rafting is nearby on the Guisane, one of the most famous rivers in the Alps for enthusiasts.

Serre Chevalier / Monetier-les-Bains area

Serre Chevalier is one of the largest ski areas in France, with 250km of pistes to suit all levels of skier. Stretched along a high valley, from 1200m to 1500m abouve sea level, ths pistes are strung out along the length of the valley, with wide open and sunny bowls at the top, and skiing through the larch forest below.
For the more adventurous, there is some great off-piste skiing and boarding, snowparks for the freestylers, and nursery slopes for the beginners. There is really something to suit all levels.
For the non-skier, it is an ideal place to spend a holiday with your skiing family, as you can while away your time in the local thermal springs, the pool and sauna, or catch the ski bus down to the walled town of Briancon, a world heritage site, built by the architect Vauban in the 17th century.
The village of Monetier-les-Bains has a traditional feel, with local food stores selling produce from the local stores.Restaurants range from creperies, pizzerias and alpine specialities, to more gourmet experiences of the Hotel Alliey, and Auberge de Choucas. Thermal waters run through gullies in the main street.
On the edge of two national parks, Queyras and Ecrins, wildlife is abundant in summer, and alpine flowers cover the slopes. Cycle along the valley to the hamlets of Le Lauzet or Le Casset and sample local cheeses and ham, or visit the alpine Botanic gardens at the top of the Col du Lauteret, with sections devoted to all the major mountain ranges of the world, and a memorial to Scott of the Antarctic who trained for his famous trip to the Antarctic there.

Guestbook

Thanks for having us.Great chalet in a great location close to the lifts in a beautiful real French village .Plenty of good skiing and boarding to be done-even had pow days.It doesn't get much better!

Just returned from a wonderful week skiing.The apartment is extremely well equipped and comfortable. It was toasty warm too, despite January temperatures in Serre Chevalier.Very convenient for the ski lifts, and the thermal baths. Strongly recommend the latter for a bit of apres-ski soothing and relaxation.

Please pass on our thanks to your key holder for her welcome and assistance, all the contact arrangements went very smoothly. Myself and my brother were very impressed with your apartment (especially the view through the patio doors ) I think you have made a very shrewd choice, and we will of course consider rebooking in the future.
