Charming cottage due south gates of Queyras, Ecrins and Embrun
HABITAT MOUNTAIN A COSY ATMOSPHERE
We welcome you to our traditional stone-built mountain home which has been carefully renovated to provide all modern amenities while at the same time preserving its authenticity and cosy, comfortable feel.

The 35m2 cottage comprises a 17m2 open plan living/dining/kitchen area (opening out onto a private, south-facing 20m2 terrace), a double bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom with Italian-style shower. The modern, functional, fully-equipped kitchen has a convection oven with a gas and electric hob and extractor hood, a microwave, fridge freezer and Nespresso coffee machine. The lounge area (which includes the160 x 190cm sofa bed) has a 82cm LCD TV, DVD player and a selection of DVDs, Internet access, and a number of maps and hiking/mountain biking guidebooks and magazines. The bedroom contains two 90 x 190cm beds and has plenty of storage space. The washing machine is housed in the bathroom. If necessary, baby equipment (cot, high chair, changing mat) can be provided.
In addition to the private terrace, where you will find a barbeque and comfortable garden furniture with a parasol, you can also enjoy the owners shady garden from where you will marvel at the view of the lake and the mountains.

About the host
Hosted by Martine
Along with my partner, I enjoy the nature, the mountain activities, the good food and the marvellous quality of life in this pollution-free area. We bought this 19th century house in 2008 and were attracted to it by its superb mountain location and views down over the Serre-Poncon Lake. We have renovated it with sensitivity to retain its original charm.
Why they chose this property
We know this region and particularly appreciate its sunny climate and its turquoise-colored lake and changing, it is also nicknamed 'the sea to the mountains.' It is with evident pleasure that we love to share the joy of living here, the discovery of a region which has strengths that have nothing to envy to the remains of the Alps. Chorges is a thriving market town situated between Gap and Embrun. It has a very popular Sunday morning market and in the summer time there is also a market on Wednesday evenings. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a variety of good shops, bars and restaurants
What makes this property unique
What makes this cottage unique.
With its fully southern exposure and magnificent mountain and lake views, the cottage is in a small, friendly hamlet with full and part-time residents from France, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Activities on the door step; hiking on marked trails, mountain biking and road biking, snowshoeing and, weather permitting, cross-country skiing.
Nearby ski resorts; Ancelle, St Leger Melezes, Orcieres, Reallon, Les Orres, Vars, Risoul.
There are multiple access points, all within 30mins, into the Valgaudemar Champsaur Ecrins National Park.
Nearby historic attractions include the shrine at Notre Dame de Laus, the 17th century abbey of Boscodon and the Chateau de Picomtal.
Serre-Poncon Lake is a 10 minute drive away and offers a variety of activities from relaxing on its well-maintained beaches to swimming, windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing, pedaloes, dinghy sailing, motor boats, guided cruises and more. On the Durance and Ubaye rivers which feed the lake you can also do white water rafting and kayaking.
It is 25 minutes from the motorway leading to Provence and day trips are possible to the Verdon Gorge, Aix en Provence, the Drome Provencale and the lavender fields. In the other direction you can go into the mountains to the Queyras valley, Fressinieres, Vallouise, la Meije, and the glaciers in the Ecrins National Park as well as visit the historic sites of Embrun, Briancon and Mont Dauphin
