Village resorts of the Grand Briançonnais

Greater Briançon

In the Hautes-Alpes, sport is as much about the legs as the eyes. The village resorts offer proximity and panoramic views, with that extra touch of soul that touches the heart.

Pelvoux-Vallouise:
small resort, big ski

Just a stone’s throw from Puy Saint Vincent, Pelvoux-Vallouise hides a playground that has nothing to envy the big boys. Here, every run is a challenge, every descent a surprise, between tight forest and immaculate powder. As the locals know, this human-sized resort is also a base camp for lovers of committed skiing, freeride and long vertical drops. Small in size, but with the energy of a champion.

Le Chalezet:
a panoramic lodge on the Meije

Imagine the pause at the summit, when your thighs are warming up and your breath is still coming in. In front of you, the Meije imposes itself like a film set, ridge after ridge, within sight. Le Chalezet is a village resort that can be enjoyed like a panoramic lodge: quiet, almost confidential skiing, but with a backdrop that makes you want to take out the camera at every turn.
