Location & what to see
Selonnet is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the Blanche Valley, surrounded by mountainous terrain and scattered hamlets. Its mountain setting lends itself to active stays: local trails draw walkers and cyclists in fine weather, while the slopes of Chabanon bring the ski season to life. The village suits travellers looking for a rural setting and outdoor activities rather than an urban stay.
The Church of Notre-Dame and Saint-Antoine and the Lesdiguières Tower bear witness to local history. Château de Montclar offers a chance to discover the heritage of nearby villages, while the Maison du Mulet recalls the role of the mule in mountain life. Chabanon ski resort, 3.3 km away, offers snow activities in winter and mountain outings when the season allows. You can explore Selonnet on foot, but a car is useful for reaching the valley’s different sites and hiking trailheads.
In winter, bring clothing suited to snow and mountain temperatures; skiing and resort activities shape the days. In spring and summer, trails and cycling outings offer another way to explore the surroundings, with stops in the villages and amid the valley scenery. Autumn is suited to quieter walks and excursions to Montclar. Mountain conditions change with the seasons, so choose your routes according to the weather and your experience.
What guests say
