The best accommodations La Grave

With such a name, we have found here much more than a Spanish inn, an unmistakable establishment with its long facade that allows us to enjoy all the joys of the mountains. In the centre of the village, facing the cable car that climbs to the fetish summit of the freeriders, but also easily accessible by road, Le Castillan is a hotel that combines charm and convenience. Whether you come here in summer to recharge your batteries and admire the view of La Meije from its loggia and swim in the beautiful swimming pool before going on a hike - also children's games, archery - or whether you come here in winter to ski while relaxing in the sauna, the atmosphere is always very zen and friendly. Le Castillan is also a good table, run by a Master Restaurant who favours local products, where you can enjoy specialities such as homemade trout rillettes, a famous farm chicken with crayfish or a duck breast with genepi. A good family and friendly address.

Sleep, eat, sunbathe, enjoy the mountain… The life of marmots can also become yours! Just let yourself be guided by these lovely Alpine emblems to reach the Faranchin, a beautiful mountain house, family hotel at 1650 m above sea level. A milestone for bikers, the Faranchin is located at the foot of the massif of the Meije and allows us to practice all summer activities. Inside it is only heat: human warmth with personalised family hospitality, warmth of the decor, heat in the sauna or whirlpool baths and in the gym! The rooms are well in the spirit of the. This is to say if you feel quickly like at home, especially as for such comfort the prices are mild. This conviviality is also in kitchen with, on orders, David, the son. Famous for his head of calf, he presents us with products from the land formalized to tits onions. At the hotel, there are more than reasonable prices, all served generously. An address every season that will delight both motorcycle couples and friends as well as families by car. Turn into a smart Faranchin!

With its flowered balconies facing the Meije, here is a hotel-restaurant that has the good taste to offer us a beautiful panoramic terrace in front of the cable Téléphérique, facing the snow capped peaks as summer. The rooms are very comfortable and we prefer those who offer a balcony facing the spectacle of nature rather than the sight of the village. On the terrace, choice of salads and all the classics of our mountains: tartiflette, fondue… pancakes to spend time and pleasure on children, but also meunière trout. It's not high gastronomy, but it's holding well before climbing on the slopes or returning a ski day.

As they are sweet these Lambs, a term which not only refers to animals grazing in the green pastures of the Lautaret, but also a summit of the Ecrins Massif. As it is gentle to stay in the Lambs, a traditional establishment that has been in family for 14 years in the middle of unspoilt nature. From the start, we are immersed in the land with the famous boiled bread that will keep all year round. The facilities are not missing (gym, whirlpool bath and sauna) and the rooms, including six convenient family suites, offer all the comfort (TV, teléphone) at soft prices. Other delicacies, with cuisine that celebrates local products and good homemade cuisine: Tourtons salad, home bowl, potato pie, Villar-d'Arène rissoles, beautiful truite trout, canard duck, herbes lamb, herbal vacherin, and a delicious Norwegian omelet. A gentle address, ideal for families, combining the beauty and the good in the best atmosphere.
