Swimming pool

  • Near the village of Ancelle and the Écrins National Park
  • Heated pool, paddling pool, hot tub, playground and bouncy castle
  • Hiking and mountain bike trails starting from the site
Fortuitously, there's a hot tub at this Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur site. Also fortuitously, a massage centre is a few minutes' stroll away. Both of which make up a jolly sensible state of affairs given the mighty amount of active options around this mountainous park, from hiking and mountain bike trails starting straight from the grounds to swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, wakeboarding and waterskiing at Lac de Serre-Ponçon within easy day trip distance. Camping Les Auches is on a plateau 1,300 metres high up in the Hautes-Alpes, on the edge of the Écrins National Park and a few minutes' stroll from the village of Ancelle. Hiking and biking trails begin from here into the Chamsaur valley; fishing and horse riding can be had within a few kilometres, and Ancelle is well known as a tourist spot for its outdoor activities in months of warm and cool. So you'll certainly at some point need to make yourself acquainted with that hot tub. You could also float lazily in the heated outdoor pool, splendidly set among magnif mountain views, or lounge about nearby while the kids let loose in the paddling pool or at the playground and bouncy castle. The site also has wifi access, a pétanque court and a TV room for your family fun; for food, a snack bar is open in high season.

Liked Nous avons été très bien accueillis.
L'emplacement tente était très grand et ombragé avec une belle vue sur les pistes de ski d'Ancelle. Nous étions au bout du camping au calme comme nous l'avions demandé mais assez proche des sanitaires qui soit dit en passant ont été très propres durant tout notre séjour. Le camping propose un service de snack et bar qui permet de se restaurer et boire au retour des randonnées. Nous reviendrons.

Liked Experiencia increible en el camping Les Auches, dormir bajo las estrellas y despertar rodeado de los Alpes en una magnifica valle. Un lugar tranquilo, limpio y perfectamente equipado. Especial mención a Laure, con su amabilidad y actitud agradable y acogedora que hicieron de mi estancia todavia mas perfecta. Recomendable sin dudarlo.

Local attractions

Hiking and mountain bike trails in the Chamsaur valley leave from the site; valley river fishing is within two kilometres, and horse and pony riding can be booked within a few hundred metres; browse the info at the Ancelle tourist info to take your active pick. Also close by are a spa with those massage treatments essential after a day hiking or mountain biking; whitewater sports five kilometres away, and tennis courts within a kilometre. If you're up for getting mighty active indeed, ask the staff or the Ancelle tourist office team about paragliding trips around this spectacular part of the Hautes-Alps. About 45 minutes' south, take your water legs and sense of adventure to Lac de Serre-Ponçon, one of the biggest artificial lakes in Europe at 3,000 hectares. Take your pick from paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing to get out onto the waters here; around the lake, there's a beach to lounge on and trails for horse riding, hiking and mountain biking, all among a spectacular mountain setting.
