Location & what to see

Le Monêtier-les-Bains is a mountain village in the Hautes-Alpes, in the Guisane Valley. This Alpine village combines old houses, resort life and mountain scenery. Les Grands Bains thermal baths have swimming and relaxation areas for unwinding after a day outdoors. In winter, the area attracts skiers; in summer, hiking trails and the scenery of Écrins National Park take centre stage.

The Serre Chevalier ski lifts are 450 m away, and the thermal baths are 200 m away. Écrins National Park offers walking routes and views across the Alpine terrain. Briançon, 14 km away, is worth visiting for its fortified town, built by Vauban, historic gates and old lanes. Briançon railway station connects the town with other destinations in the region; the village also has a bus stop nearby. A car makes it easier to reach the hamlets and trailheads.

In winter, bring clothing suited to mountain conditions and enjoy the slopes of Serre Chevalier, whose sectors stretch across the valley. From June to autumn, the trails of Écrins offer walks of varying difficulty, with views of the peaks and mountain pastures. You could start the day with a walk nearby, continue with a visit to Briançon and finish at the thermal baths. The weather changes quickly at altitude, so leave some flexibility in your plans and choose routes according to the conditions on the day.
