Situated at over 1,300 metres altitude, Briançon is the highest town in France and a true jewel of the Southern Alps. Just a short walk from the hotel, the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Vauban fortifications offer a unique immersion into the region's rich military history.

In winter, the mountains provide over 250 kilometres of pistes for Alpine skiing, alongside peaceful Nordic skiing and snowshoe hikes through snowy forests. When summer arrives, the terrain transforms into a vast playground for adventure: conquer legendary mountain passes like Galibier and Izoard by bike, trek through the Écrins National Park, or try thrilling sports like canyoning, rafting, and mountaineering.
