House is in Beuil and is built within
the peaceful Mercantour National Park, and is short walking distance to a ski lift where you can purchase your lift tickets. All ski lifts interlink. From the house,
one can ride ski lifts and ski to downtown Valberg to enjoy its many restaurants. Valberg
is a five-minute drive away.
The beuil/valberg ski resort has over
130 km of slopes for skiing and cross-country skiing. It has 26 ski lifts and 20 hectacres are covered by artificial snow
when needed.
Sledding and cross-country skiing is
possible most anywhere and you have your own private sledding slopes by the house. Skidoos (motorized ski sleds) and Quads
(4 wheeled motorbikes) are available for rent, Adventure Park (various challenging activities like rock climbing), the Little
Bear Ski School for children, and Ice-skating are all available five minutes away in Valberg.
Valberg and Beuil have the best hiking
trails in the world and allows hiking access to the slopes year-round, even if you are not skiing. Hiking is fantastic any time of year, even with small children. During
summer, the slopes bloom with endless fields of flowers and perfect for a picnic.
While
Valberg is loaded with busy restaurants, Beuil is loaded with charm. Just a kilometer from the house is the heart of
Beuil's centuries old cobblestone alleyways built long before the automobile. A walk through Beuil, the perfect Alpine village, will never be forgotten. Beuil offers several excellent restaurants, a bakery, a small grocery
with fresh meats, tennis and basketball courts, and an ornate 400 year old church.
