Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: grenoble - 1h30
The nearest village is 4 km away, there are shops, local products, pharmacy, bakery and café. Car essential but possibility to lend ours. In winter it is necessary to provide snow chains or tires, it is not uncommon for the road to be snow-covered but the snow plow passes every day. The closest ski resorts are 20 minutes away (the wolf's cheek), and access to Orcières Merlettes is 45 minutes. Many possibilities for cross-country skiing and ski touring, (we can lend our equipment if the sizes match).
In summer, possibility of swimming in the river or lake from the house. Lac de Serre ponçon 40 minutes away, many wonderful walks and hikes departing from the house. The environment is wild but warm (the hamlet is on a south-facing plateau)
For lovers of more urban life, Gap is 15 minutes away and you can find everything there: swimming pool, theater and its national stage with a very good program, many festivals in summer, pedestrian and very friendly city center.

Lifestyle
We love nature, climbing, music, simple and open-minded people. We do not usually take the plane for ecological reasons, and are fans of Italy, the Mediterranean, mountainous and wild countries. We also like of course from time to time to take a trip to a beautiful city!
