Chambres d'hôtes l'Abondance

The four rooms at Chambres d'hôtes l'Abondance have layouts suited to couples, families and groups of four. They range from 23 to 45 m² and offer mountain views. Three room types have a private bathroom; the Comfort Quadruple Room has a seating area and sofa. The family room stands out for its capacity of five guests and its spa bath.

Depending on the room, you will find a TV, seating area, air conditioning or sofa. Sleeping arrangements also vary, with a double bed, single beds or a combination of both. The rooms come with bed linen and towels, as well as a hairdryer. The upper floors are accessible by stairs only. This variety lets you choose between a room for two, a larger family option or a quadruple room with several single beds.

The outdoor areas include a garden and two terraces, one of which is a sun terrace. For days in the mountains, facilities include ski storage and a ski school. Free public parking is available on site, and a charging point lets you charge an electric vehicle. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Activities nearby span several seasons: skiing, hiking, cycling and fishing are among the options, along with canoeing, horse riding, minigolf and bowling. A tennis court adds to the sporting facilities. You can also enjoy movie nights or pub crawls. The rooms have a TV, while outdoor facilities include parasols and sun loungers. The property is for adults only, and the rooms are non-smoking.

Saint-Jean-Saint-Nicolas is part of the Champsaur, a valley in the Hautes-Alpes bordered by mountains and pastoral landscapes. The village and its hamlets have a mountain atmosphere, with meadows, forests and scenery that changes with the seasons. This part of the département appeals to travellers looking for outdoor activities, villages to explore and Alpine views rather than the bustle of a large city.

Écrins National Park covers a vast area of peaks, valleys and trails, with hiking routes suited to different ability levels. Nearby, the Saint-Léger-les-Mélèzes ski area offers winter sports; the Champets ski lifts also serve the local slopes. In Saint-Jean-Saint-Nicolas, the ecomuseum in the former farmhouse explores local rural life, while the public garden offers a quieter place to stop. Gap, with its shops, old streets and cathedral, is about 24 km away. Free on-site parking makes it easier to get around by car, which is particularly useful for exploring the valley’s villages and trailheads.

In winter, bring clothing suited to mountain conditions and check whether the slopes are open before setting out. When warmer weather returns, hiking, cycling and fishing take over; the trails let you discover the Champsaur scenery at a gentler pace. A day can combine an outing in the mountains with a visit to a village in the valley. The shoulder seasons offer another way to enjoy the mountains, forests and meadows, usually with fewer visitors than during the winter holiday period.
