Village resorts in Champsaur

No bling. In Champsaur, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, we put on our skis at the foot of the houses, look up at the softened peaks and rediscover what is most authentic about skiing: a village spirit, an intimate mountain, genuine smiles.

Gentle mountains,charming villages

Five village resorts, five atmospheres, one common thread: simplicity. Saint-Léger-les-Mélèzes, Chaillol, Ancelle, Laye and Serre-Eyraud create an authentic setting, without overdoing it. The mountains are gentle, human-scale, and skiing becomes a shared experience.

Ski
family version

This is perhaps their greatest strength: these resorts are designed for learning, progressing and laughing together on the slopes. The lifts are accessible, the areas reassuring, the instructors patient. Champsaur is the ideal playground for introducing the little ones to the slopes, restoring the confidence of older skiers who have lost their nerve, and satisfying the most experienced skiers.

Summer call

When the slopes are bare, the valleys open up to another adventure playground: hiking, mountain biking, via ferrata, climbing, water sports… The Champsaur mountains offer an array of outdoor activities that resonate with the same authenticity as in winter. Each season tells its own story, with one constant: freedom regained.
