Auberge de L'Echauguette

L’Auberge de L'Echauguette offers seven room categories, suitable for one person, two travellers, three people or families. Room sizes range from 11 to 27 m². Every room has a private bathroom, a TV and a safe; some also include a desk. Some overlook the garden and mountains, while others offer a view of the town.

Sleeping arrangements vary by room: a double bed, single beds or a combination of the two. The Family Room accommodates up to five people and the Standard Family Room up to four. In the relevant standard rooms, the private toilets are on the landing, separate from the bathroom. Some rooms are accessible only by stairs.

L’Auberge de L'Echauguette has a restaurant, bar and café on site. Breakfast is served buffet-style, and menus for special diets are available on request. The menu also includes wine and champagne. For dining outdoors, there is garden-facing furniture, a dining area and terraces; a picnic area lets you enjoy the outdoor spaces.

Guests can store their equipment in the ski storage room before heading out hiking, cycling or walking. Horse riding, canoeing, fishing and skiing are also among the activities available in the surrounding area. Tours or classes about local culture are offered. A shuttle service is available. Free public parking is nearby, with an electric vehicle charging point and spaces accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Free Wi-Fi is available in the communal areas.

Mont-Dauphin is a fortified town in the Hautes-Alpes, built by Vauban on a plateau overlooking the Durance and Guil valleys. Its ramparts, gates and military buildings form a compact ensemble that is easy to explore on foot. The village suits travellers interested in heritage, as well as those looking to combine sightseeing with mountain activities.

The Poudrière and the former barracks are among the citadel’s landmarks; Saint-Louis Church is another place to discover the site’s architecture. Écrins National Park offers access to alpine scenery and hiking routes. In the other direction, Queyras Regional Natural Park draws visitors with its valleys, villages and trails. Montdauphin-Guillestre railway station is 850 m away, making it convenient to arrive by train and continue on foot or by local transport. Nearby Guillestre is another landmark from which to explore the surrounding valleys.

In summer, the days are well suited to hiking, cycling and outings along the Durance; the surrounding mountains offer routes of varying difficulty. A visit to the fortifications can be combined with a walk through Mont-Dauphin’s green spaces. In winter, skiing and snow activities take over at the region’s resorts. Spring and autumn bring milder conditions for exploring the villages and scenery, while the changing seasons colour the alpine valleys.
