The Southern Alps Holiday rentals in the Southern Alps

Between the refreshing air of the high mountains and the sun of Provence, your holiday rental in the Southern Alps in France promises you an invigorating stay, with many outdoor activities. Sports enthusiasts and hikers will be delighted to explore the trails, while culture lovers will discover the region's historical heritage. 

The Southern Alps: a holiday between the mountains and Provence 

Even if the Southern Alps region only includes three departments (Alpes de Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-Maritimes), they offer enough activities for a whole Roman legion! What do you prefer, the Gallo-Roman remains in Riez, the Via Domitia in Gap or the Roman tombs discovered in Embrun? 

But from your ski holiday rental in the Southern Alps, you can also discover the majestic Vauban fortifications in Briançon and the ancient forts that crown some of the rocky peaks: Fort des Salettes, Fort des Tetes and Fort Dauphin. Castellane and the Gorges du Verdon will impress nature lovers, while Barcelonnette will enchant travellers in search of authenticity. Also plan a detour to the Forcalquier citadel, the Notre-Dame du Laus sanctuary next to Gap, the Saint-Sauveur church in Manosque and small villages in the countryside: Saint-Veran, La Grave-La Meije, Crevoux, Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye, etc. 

But opting for a holiday rental in the Southern Alps, France also means treating yourself to a relaxing and peaceful stay. Discover the town of Digne-les-Bains, its numerous hot springs and wellness areas. To enjoy an incredible experience in the heart of nature, head towards Serre-Chevalier and the great baths of Monetier: you will enjoy water that is naturally so hot that the spa centre has to cool it down to 37°C so that travellers can splash around in it. As for the Baths of Greoux-les-Bains, which date back to antiquity, they will allow you to plunge into both the Gallo-Roman period and the invigorating and curative water.

On the menu of your holidays in the Southern Alps: cheese and genepi (plant liqueur) of course, but not just that! Indulge in donkeys' ear, delicious spinach lasagna, and frosted apples for dessert. 

Enjoy the mountains all year round from your holiday rental in the Southern Alps, France!

The natural heritage and winter temperatures of the Southern Alps make it a perfect place to practice snow sports. Discover the ski resorts of Pra-Loup or Val d'Allos and let yourself go to the pleasures of skiing down the slopes of all levels at full speed! Treat yourself to an unusual experience by going skiing at night on the slopes of Puy-Saint-Vincent.

Do you want to vary the activities from your ski holiday rental in the Southern Alps? Go snowshoeing with your family or discover cross-country skiing on numerous nature trails. The resort of Montgenevre is home to the longest toboggan run in France. You can also try your hand at bobsledding on the nearby San Sicario track. 

Booking a holiday rental in the Southern Alps in summer is also completely worth it! Organise a picnic in the Ecrins National Park, discover the legend of Lake Serre-Poncon and enjoy numerous hikes with exceptional landscapes: the Mercantour National Park is ideal for lovers of small, intimate trails. You will surely be lucky enough to come across mouflons, marmots and ibexes. 

Want to spend some refreshing moments? Make your first paddle or rafting trip on the various mountain lakes that populate the region: Queyras or Vens-Auron. You can also try a via ferrata near Orpierre and try mountaineering in the Meije massif.

And as the Southern Alps are also close to the Mediterranean Sea, reserve a few days to go and enjoy the turquoise waters of the coast and the seaside resorts: Nice, Cannes, Juan-les-Pins, Antibes, etc.
