Activities

There’s plenty to do in the area surrounding our specially-adapted cottage

The cottage is a French Cycling Federation certified mountain bike centre.

Almost 190km of trails marked out by the Federation (maps available from the cottage or from the St André les Alpes tourist information centre)

• “Chemins du Soleil” meeting point:

Thanks to its location, the cottage is perfectly situated along the GTA (Grande Traversée des Alpes) and GTPA (Grande Traversée des Pré-Alpes) mountain bike trails.

The cottage is the perfect place to embark on numerous day trips.

• Nature walks:

Upon request, it is possible to go on a guided nature tour adapted to all levels of fitness, so you can discover the area and learn more about the region as a family.

• Snowshoe walks:

Winter-weather permitting, the walking trails nearby are perfect to practise your snowshoe walking skills.

• Skiing:

To practise alpine skiing, the Val d’Allos is located approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from the cottage. For cross-country skiing, the Nordic ski station in Saint-Michel is ideal.

For fans of white water sports, the nearby gorges in Verdon have a variety of breath-taking activities on offer.
