Welcome |
Monêtier-Les-Bains
is a charming village in the Hautes-Alpes. It's
located between Grenoble and Briançon, on the
twisty Route Nationale N91, that was once the Roman
road between the two towns.
The village sits in the Vallée du la Guisane,
with the mountains rising up all around. Immediately
to the west and southwest is the Ecrins National
Park , with peaks rising to nearly 4200 m. On the
northwest side of the valley, the peaks are 2600-2800
m, with the Tête Noire, only 3 km away, at 2917
m.
The village has narrow streets between old buildings
with lovely facades and wooden balconies. The Place
de la Mairie has pink-marble fountains, and some vestiges
of the ancient fortifications remain. Monêtier-Les-Bains
has two hot-water springs, one at 34°C and one at
38°C, and the village has been a thermal spa since
Roman times.
The commune of Monêtier-Les-Bains includes a number
of little hamlets isolated in the rugged mountains.
In Les Guibertes, just to the south is a fortified chateau
from the Templiers. Monêtier-Les-Bains and the
surrounding hamlets have a number of old churches and
chapels from the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
The surrounding mountains are magnificent, and the views
are breathtaking. The area includes high mountain lakes
and glaciers, including Monêtier and Casset. Local
fauna includes chamois, marmottes and snow hares, and
the alpine flora is extremely rich.
In this wonderful environment
we rent apartments fully equipped and recently restored,
close to the ski area and in the middle of the Ecrins
National Park.
We look forward to welcoming
you and we will let you discover the offers available
on this web site.
Bienvenue!!!
