There are no near neighbours, and endless space for kids to run around and let off steam. You can hike straight from the house into the majestic larch forests behind. The area is a hotspot for outdoor activities, there is a world reknowned paragliding site just down the road, white water sports on the Ubaye river, boating and swimming in the lake, and you can take a chairlift up the mountain to hike or mountain bike.

Un noël en famille
La superficie est très agréable pour une grande famille. La cuisine est équipée et très pratique. Contrairement à l annonce il n y a qu' 1 salle de bain. 4 chambres dont 1 grande parentale et 1 petite enfants , 1 avec 1 lit double et 1 avec 2 lits simples. Le chauffage est le hic de l histoire. Les convecteurs électriques ne fonctionnent pas dans la grande et la petite chambre ni dans la grande salle munie d une cheminée. Un radiateur d appoint permet le chauffage de la grande chambre et la salle de bain. Dommage cela pénalise la prestation. Pour arriver et grimper jusqu' au chalet prévoir 400 m en 4x4. Ou laissez la voiture en bas. Les enfants ont été contents du séjour. Les parents aussi mais des travaux de chauffage sont indispensables. 5e de sus par personne pour la prestation des draps est un service appréciable. St Jean de montclar est une station très agréable à 1km.

Stunning mountain views ,excellent value ,very comfortable well equipped accommodation
Having travelled the world we can honestly say this is the most beautiful area we have ever visited mountains and the big blue lake ! Maison L'Amont is situated alone on top of a hill with plenty of private parking .The views are amazing and plenty of private parking plus the apartment was spotless and thoughfully equipped for up to 8 people! so amazing value too. Rachel the owner who lives nearby will prepare an evening meal for you if asked she really is a wonderful cook so a great solution if you dont feel like cooking occasionally . Ski resort 5 mins away blue flag lake 10 mins away walks on mountain tracks all over the area and cycling heaven.There really is something for everyone here .We will be back

Un cadre tellement calme !!!
Appartement très grand ! J'étais un peu inquiète au début parce que nous étions deux familles de 4. Mais c'est vraiment grand, cuisine très bien équipée. Déco un peu vieillotte, certes mais appartement très fonctionnel. L'espace extérieur mériterait d'être un peu plus "applanit" (pas très stable pour manger) mais lorsque nous y sommes allés le champs n'était pas cultivé donc les enfants ont pu aller s'y défouler!! La proximité avec la station est idéale. Nous sommes tombés amoureux de cette région!!

Brilliant for the views and a quiet rest
A secluded, peaceful place with wonderful views. It is spacious and comfortably equipped. In a great area for walks and other sports. Up a track so no low slung vehicles

About the neighborhood
Visit Barcelonnette, a lively mountain town which has historical links to Mexico. They have a great jazz festival in July, and museums, forts and churches to explore. Or head up the valley over one of the high mountain passes and walk to a high altitude lake taking in fantastic views and alpine flowers. Closer to the house try a paragliding tandem flight from the panoramic village of St Vincent les Forts, laze by the lake or go fishing or boating. You could visit one of the many goat's cheese farms, or taste local lavendar honey. Browse the markets in Seyne, St Jean Montclar or Barcelonnette for fabulous local peaches and apricots, and the best lamb in France!
