## The space

We do not propose "any" chalet but "our family chalet", equipped for 8 to 10 people.
This Chalet is our main residence and we are very happy to be able to share it with you.

Whether you are with family or friends, in couple or up to ten, you will feel right at home! All the elements are there to refill your batteries, in an exotic setting open to nature. The large garden with trees and flowers adjoining our vegetable garden will put you in the best conditions to relax.

The Chalet spreads over 4 half-levels and 160m2 of living space includes:
- A large, warm and bright main room with a kitchen open to a spacious 80m2 living room with a wood stove to warm up those chilly summer evenings.
Our family kitchen is well equipped, you will find everything you need whether you are a “cordon bleu” or a “quick meal”.
- 3 terraces equipped to live to the rhythm of the sun: to the east for sunny breakfasts, to the south for convivial meals around the large table and barbecue, to the west to enjoy the sunset lights around a glass.
- 1 balcony (facing east, with access from one of the bedrooms), ideal for breakfasts in the sun and for lovers.
- 4 bedrooms (for up to 10 guests) with 4 double beds and 2 single beds (the 2 single beds being located on mezzanines).

## The neighborhood

DISCOVER THE AREA:
The chalet is located on the edge of the Grande Randonnée trail (GR5), so you can start on foot for a walk to the Col des Thures, the Aiguille Rouge, the Balcons de Névache path or the Vallée Étroite valley.
You will find some maps and guides for walks in the area. We will be happy to advise you on our “favorite” itineraries for different walking levels.
Whether on foot or by bike, you can explore this magnificent Clarée Valley and its surroundings (legendary Cols of the Tour de France (Lautaret, Galibier, Izoard ...), Italy a few kilometers away via the Col de l'Echelle ...).

For a larger playground, many hiking trails, refuges and other mountain lakes await you in the Haute-Vallée de Névache. Access is by using the summer shuttles (from mid-July to mid-August only) or by car outside this period.

For passionates of History, you can discover Briançon (about twenty minutes by car from the Chalet) and its old town surrounded by Vauban fortifications, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With children, rent a donkey for the day and go discover nature.

Sporty friends: rent bikes at the Névachais sports store and go exploring the beautiful Clarée.
