The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Large panoramic parking with breathtaking west-facing views over the valley and Mont-Blanc massif. Access via narrow winding mountain road to Lac du Pontet. About twenty pitches, mostly flat terrain. No onsite facilities, but beautiful lake 5 minutes walk away with seasonal snack bar. Highly busy in peak season, quieter off-peak. Challenging access for large motorhomes due to narrow, winding approach.

Highlights

  • Exceptional views of the valley and the Meije
  • Secluded spot outside the village with access to hikes and Lac du Pontet
  • Flat terrain with plenty of available spaces.
  • Quiet in low season

Good to know

  • Very narrow winding access, impossible for large campervans (over 7.5t)
  • Very busy in summer, camping-like atmosphere
  • No parking 9 PM to 7 AM
  • No services, no shade, strong winds

Motorhome access : Very narrow switchback access road with rare and difficult passing spots. Not recommended for motorhomes over 7.5t or large sizes. Vans and small campervans acceptable with caution.
