Where to stay...We recommend
AlpSun - a small family run set of apartments, all located within the
Vallouise valley, at the entrance of the
Parc
National des Ecrins (the largest national park in France). Every
apartment is comfortable, well laid out, very clean and has open views of
breathtaking scenery. The fact that this is a small family business means
that you will receive excellent care before and during your stay.
