Le Casset is a mountain hamlet in the commune of Le Monêtier-les-Bains, in the Hautes-Alpes. The houses and Alpine scenery give this address a village character, with mountain peaks and outdoor routes as a backdrop. The area suits travellers who want to alternate activities at altitude with quiet moments in a small hamlet. Écrins National Park stretches across this part of the Alps, among valleys, forests and high mountain terrain.

The Musée du Moulin and the Chapelle Saint-Jacques are in the hamlet, while the village of Le Monêtier-les-Bains offers other local landmarks. The ski lifts in the Pré Chabert area provide access to the Serre Chevalier slopes in winter. In the warmer months, trails offer a way to explore the scenery on foot; the surrounding peaks and valleys also attract hikers. The Le Monêtier-les-Bains bus station and Briançon railway station are transport hubs for getting around the region.

Winter is devoted to skiing and snow activities, with the season generally running from December into spring, depending on conditions. In summer, hiking and mountain outings take over. You can start the day with a walk around the hamlet, continue on a trail or the slopes, then finish with a meal in the area. Visitors travelling by car can explore the different valleys of the Hautes-Alpes; for journeys without a car, consider Briançon railway station and local connections when planning your route.
