"Alps of light", Clarée Valley, on the border between France and Italy.

Close (11kms) to the ski resorts of Mont-Genèvre and Serre Chevalier, the "Béouriou" is however at the crossroads of cross-country ski trails which run all along the Clarée valley (from La Vachette to Nevache) and even beyond ...
So much for winter.

But beyond winter - and for its light (blessed!) , - summer for its freshness (too long desired!) , but in all seasons, because the Clarée valley really deserves its "international" reputation for being one of the valleys that has known better than others (this in the whole of the Alpine arc!), keep its authenticity, this base point in Val des Près will come to you as a "haven".
The village is nearby: it is beautiful, it is intact; it is in the middle of the valley, that of Clarée: intact, too. The apartment is functional: it will leave you there; you will be at the forefront, forgotten about the rest.
It offers enough space for 4 beds, in the sense of 4 adults; but it can accommodate 6 beds, depending on occasional or family configurations. It is part of a collective residence, while being a little detached from it, reserving privileged access to the river (see attached photos). Bathroom (with bathtub), microwave, "cable TV", Hi Fi system, offer a good "base camp" for gaining strength, going on an adventure ... and changing one's mind. The mountain is there, all around, and who knows how to take it!
On the border between France and Italy, Val des Près is at the same time far from the world - it is simply above! - but it also belongs to it: the museum of "Castello de Rivoli", one of the five museums of contemporary art which counts in Europe, is just an hour and ten away away, and likewise all the Italian foothills. How to resist?
Pass the mountains, breathe the change of air, this is one of the pleasures that this place will offer you ... but from its own air! That of its untouched valley, caught between the Oisans massif (and its majestic Meije) and the slow descent, via the Val de Susa, to neighboring Italy, its plains.




There's a private balcony. A kitchenette is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt
Wir waren mit zwei Erwachsenen und zwei Kindern für 10 Tage dort. Die kleine Wohnung befindet sich in einem größeren Mehrfamilienhaus und liegt direkt an der Claree. Zum Erkunden der Umgebung ist sie ein super Ausgangspunkt - mit dem Auto ist man in kurzer Zeit bei vielen verschiedenen Wanderparkplätzen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt insgesamt. Die Matratzen gehören jedoch mal wieder ausgetauscht. Anders als in der Anzeige angegeben gibt es kein W-Lan vor Ort (dafür aber guten 4G Empfang). Ansonsten gibt es für den Preis nichts an der Ausstattung auszusetzen.

Superbe semaine à Val-de-Prés
On a passé un séjour inoubliable dans ce petit appartement chaleureux. Il est très bien situé entre Nevache, Briancon et Montgenevre. Mais pas besoin de prendre la voiture, on peut aussi partir en randonnée directement de l'appartement. La vue sur la Clarée et les montagnes par la fenêtre est exceptionnelle et les enfants pouvaient profiter pleinement du jardin pour jouer dans la neige. Samuel nous a très bien accueilli de sorte qu'on s'est senti comme chez nous directement. On va revenir.

Exceptionnel
Environnement exceptionnel dans cette magnifique vallée de la Clarée. Petit appartement très confortable, même s'il est un peu "daté". Excellent emplacement, au calme pour explorer les environs et ce n'est pas un clapier, contrairement à beaucoup d'autres hébergements à montagne. Un accueil téléphonique parfait de la part du propriétaire. Il est très rare de trouver des hébergements basés sur la confiance et le partage, c'est vraiment agréable, à condition que tout le monde joue le jeu. Seul point noir : l'accès jusqu'à la porte d'entrée en hiver avec neige fondue, durcie par le dégel et le regel qui se transforme en glace. Prévoir des crampons à chaussures et bien se servir de la corde que M. Bordreuil a tendue entre les arbres pour accéder à l'escalier. Envisager d'installer une via ferrata ? Lol. Très envie de revenir bientôt, en tout cas !

Stupenda Val Nevache!
Siamo stati molto bene nell'alloggio di Samuel. Era molto ben riscaldato e anche l'acqua era molto calda rapidamente. Il posto è veramente tattico per la Val Nevache, per visitare Briançon e dintorni. Siamo riusciti a fare delle belle passeggiate. Ci vorremmo tornare. Solo una considerazione: noi eravamo in tre, ma lo consiglierei per massimo 4 persone. Grazie di tutto.

Graziosa soluzione
La zona è molto pacifica, immersa nella natura, ideale per passeggiate e sci di fondo e per chi ricerca tranquillità. La casa è molto carina, con il soppalco ideale come spazio gioco per i bambini, oltre che come camera da letto. Riscaldamento eccellente, così come la posizione vicina al fiume. Il proprietario è gentile a lasciare a disposizione l'attrezzatura per gustare la raclette. Unico grande difetto riscontrato è stata la scarsa pulizia: molta polvere su scale e mobili e troppe ragnatele sparse per la casa.

Logement très bien situé pour les randonnées en vallée de la Clarée, en vallée étroite et vers l’Izoard. Briançon est à 15mn Concernant le logement, il y a tout ce qu’on a besoin pour un séjour à la montagne Alors oui ce n’est pas un hébergement 5 étoiles mais on est dans l’ambiance montagnarde, c’est très calme, suffisamment grand et suffisamment équipé pour un lieu de vacances Très bon contact avec le propriétaire J’ai pu lire des avis ou les vacanciers se plaignent de la propreté, comme il n’y a pas d’état des lieux, c’est juste une relation de confiance et du respect des autres. Certains n’ont apparemment pas compris cela Nous avons passé un bon séjour
