At the heart of the Alps, perched at 2000m, in the Lautaret pass, between Grenoble and Briançon, this chalet is managed by the Association Astroguindaine, a real stars observatory.
In a preserved nature, at the gates of the Ecrins National Park, the chalet offers many astronomy activities and welcomes you in Summer and Winter to see the stars in our marvellous clear high altitude sky.
