Free parking is available, and the hotel also has ski storage.

Activities around the hotel vary with the seasons: skiing in winter, and hiking, cycling, walking and bike tours when conditions allow. Ski passes are available to buy. For getting around, you can find public transport tickets and a shuttle service. The hotel also provides luggage storage, lockers, a shared lounge with a TV and daily housekeeping. Leisure facilities at the property include a casino.

Briançon stretches across the Hautes-Alpes, between the Durance valley and the Alpine foothills. The town combines a modern centre with a hilltop fortified town, recognisable by its ramparts and old gates. Steep streets, stone passageways and mountain views give the visit a distinctly alpine character. The destination attracts visitors interested in heritage as well as those who come to hike or ski. The hotel is in the central part of town, near gardens and everyday shops.

The Vauban fortifications, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be explored on foot along the ramparts, lanes and squares. The Prorel cable car reaches the Serre Chevalier ski area and also provides access to high-altitude hiking routes once the snow has melted. Schappe Park offers a quieter walk along the Durance. Briançon railway station is 600 m away; the Montgenèvre resort, 8 km away, offers another area for skiing. Local forts and museums tell the military and mountain history of the region.

In winter, the ski areas attract snow sports enthusiasts, while the old town’s streets are pleasant to explore between outings. In summer, the trails, mountain passes and surrounding valleys are well suited to hiking and cycling. Pack clothing suitable for changing temperatures at altitude, even on sunny days. You can start the day by visiting the fortifications, continue with a ride up to Prorel and finish with a walk through the gardens in the town centre. The railway station and town-centre services make it easy to get around Briançon without a car.
