Around the cottage
We are located in the town of Ancelle, a ski resort town (Webcam), in a preserved natural environment that welcomes you all year long. From the cottage itself, you can easily find hiking trails, mountain bike tours, simple strolling paths, or snowshoe hikes, all with breathtaking views.
If you’re looking for more thrilling activities, you can also try rock-climbing, via ferrata, canyoning or white-water rafting. Not to forget, you can explore several swimming or sailing spots along the largest artificial lake in metropolitan France, and one of the biggest earth core dams in Europe.
