The Garden:
Outside there is a large private garden with sunny terraces perfect for those long warm evenings. There is a family sized gas BBQ, table and chairs, well positioned wooden benches to soak up the sun in the morning, afternoon and evening. The heated pool is 9m x 4m with security cover when not in use. The hot tub (6 adults) is perfectly positioned to enjoy the views of the local mountains in privacy with easy access from the house. Magical first thing in the morning as the sun pops up over the mountain and just as magical in the candlelight!
Beaches, lakes and rivers:
The nearest beaches are approximately 2 hours drive south. It is a direct route with very little traffic with a choice of many great beaches along the Cote D'Azur. On route through Aix en Provence there is a large water park just off the motor way which is open all summer. There are many swimming lakes nearby with restaurants and shower facilities and the River Buech, just a short walk away, is ideal for picnics and swimming in its beautiful clear waters. A short drive south will bring you to natures own water park ! With beautifully clear pools, waterfalls to slide down rocks to climb and jump from. Fantastic fun !!!
The Area:
The Haute Alpes is relatively undiscovered. It is a stunning region with a reported 300 days of sunshine a year. There is so much to do and see here, in fact you could holiday here in each season and still find something different to do. We live in the village so are on hand to help if you need us. We can organise activities for you eg rafting, canoeing, climbing, mountain bike guides, accrobranche (climbing through trees) skiing, snowboarding, lessons and equipment hire. We have a small brochure outlining what we can offer. Please contact us if you would like more information.
Ski:
The ski domains of the Hautes and Rhone Alpes remain undiscovered and tranquil. There are a reported 30 ski resorts in this area, we're still trying to visit them all! The nearest village resort is just 20 minutes by car which is perfect for families, beginners and intermediates. It is a beautiful little resort amongst the pine trees with a friendly atmosphere. A little further afield, 30 mins, there is the larger resort of Joue du Loup which links up to Super Devoluy with over 100kms of pistes suitable for all tastes and abilities. There are many more village stations located approximately 1hour away with larger international resorts of Reallon and Orcierres 1850 [1hr 10], also Les Orres, Pra Loup and Risoul/Vars about a 1 1/2 -2 hour drive. We can provide semi catered or fully catered holidays and can take you to and from the pistes and book lessons, ski passes or equipment. We are here to make your skiing holiday one of the best you've ever had ! Contact us for more info
