Le Chalet Carpe Diem
AT LA BÂTIE-NEUVE (05)
A peaceful family retreat
Nestled in a hamlet in the Hautes-Alpes, on the edge of the Sapet forest and at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park, this ultra-cosy 55 m2 Douglas pine chalet is the perfect place to spend a few days with the family, away from the hustle and bustle… South-facing, classified 3 épis, it has a large garden planted with larches and fruit trees, and a cosy mountain-style decor. Bertrand, the owner, has designed and furnished it as a cocoon dedicated to relaxation. He has even installed a Scandinavian sauna, a welcome addition when you are back from a snowshoeing, dog-sledding or cross-country skiing trip. Here, at an altitude of 1,000 m, you can enjoy the peace and quiet surrounding you and soak up the scenery and nature.
Extra: Snowshoe outings in the surrounding area.
– From €150 per night for 4 people (2 nights minimum). 183, rue Pré-la-Combe, Les Carles, 05230 La Bâtie-Neuve. chalet-carpe-diem.com ’
