In the heart of the Ecrins, Ailefroide...
Ailefroide

Altitude : 1506 metres

Silence and light, reputed international mountaineering area, Ailefroide hamlet, nestled at the foot of the Mont Pelvoux ( 3946 m ) in the Ecrins massif, cultivates its difference with insolence.
Anybody who knows will agree : Ailefroide is a paradise ! one of those places off the beaten track, like stepping back in time.
One of those places far from the modern world where a calm and tranquil atmosphere reigns.

This hamlet, which is only inhabited during the summer months, has resisted against the strains of modern life. It has a soul and is a great place for recharging one’s batteries and for getting back to nature.
It’s the ideal base camp for the surrounding massifs or just contemplating the mountains, at your own rhythm.

«  The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. »
O. Wilde
