  • Ils s'engagent
    In the practical work category for hiking and nature enthusiasts, the Gîte de l'École is a wonderful "object lesson" in the mountains...
    The classroom is at the bottom of the Freissinières valley, in the heart of the Ecrins National Park. Today, pupils of all ages have swapped their school bags for sticks and backpacks to walk the path that leads to this historic site in the tiny hamlet of Dormillousse. Accessible only on foot, at an altitude of 1700 m, the refuge is open both summer and winter.
    Solar energy, a vegetable garden and henhouse in the garden, local organic produce, home cooking - everything is done to welcome hikers in a simple, comfortable and warm setting, in perfect harmony with the environment.
