Themes of your stay
- SWEET BABYGoing on holiday with one or more children is not always easy. That's why we have created the 'loving baby' stay. No need to bring all baby's things and overload your car, your hosts will provide the necessary equipment: cot, high chair, changing mat, etc. The owners will advise you on family activities and outings accessible with a push chair. In some cases they can even arrange babysitters so that you can spend an evening alone together.
- ARTS AND CRAFTSSome of the owners are happy to share their passion for art or handicraft with you, whether professional or well-informed amateur. Take advantage of a training course or an introductory course in woodwork, painting, pottery, photography or music. Don't forget to bring your camera or brushes to immortalize the landscape.
- CHRISTMAS IN A GÎTEAs Christmas approaches, everyone prepares for the festivities: illuminated tree, crib and its figurines, stockings hanging from the fireplace… Restaurants with their traditional menus are not to be outdone. Your hosts will be happy to point out local activities and will have decorated the gîte for the celebration. On your arrival: a bottle of champagne, chocolates and sweets. Fully experience the Christmas tradition in Hautes-Alpes.

The village has a ski area at 1800-2200 m altitude. Snow guns guarantee good quality snow all winter. At the bottom the slopes are wide and gentle and ideal for beginners. In winter the small ski area of Chalp is geared to families. Cross-country skiers have 30 km of beautiful and unspoilt setting at their disposal.
