Gîte France

Les Chambres du Soleil

A small guesthouse in the hamlet of Les Chapieux, beside the road and a stone's throw from the grocery shop, offering renovated rooms, small dormitories and a self-catering gîte. Dinner is served at 7 pm, with home cooking that makes the most of produce from the valley, renowned for its alpine-pasture Beaufort cheese. A good option for anyone wanting a room at the end of the second stage; no Wi-Fi or cell signal here.
