  • Calm site with stunning views of the Alpe d'Huez and Oisans mountains
  • In Écrins National Park, a five-minute walk from Le Bourg-d'Oisans
  • Entertainment, sports facilities, wifi and play area with trampoline
What can you expect from a hol in the calm confines of Camping Le Colporteur? Mind-blowing views of the towering Alpe d'Huez ski area and Oisans mountains for starters (see pics for a taste of what’s to come…), as well as fab family-friendly amenities. If the idea of access to a play area with a trampoline, bouncy castle, table football and slides to keep the kids occupied isn’t enough to get you fleeing towards this space in Isère’s Écrins National Park immediately, perhaps the sporting facilities – think a tennis court, ping-pong table, badminton court and volleyball area – will be enough to lure you in. There’s also a pétanque pitch, which acts as a venue for the multiple tournaments organised by the site, and other games and entertainment organised in the evenings, too. Already sold on the idea of a stay here? Great – so all you need to do now is travel to Le Bourg d'Oisans, the nearest village around a five-minute walk away, which has a farmers’ market to browse on Saturdays and a free heated public swimming pool with a waterslide (open in the summer months) surrounded by the mountains. If you’re planning on venturing into said landscapes, hikes and bike rides are accessible from close to the park, including the Écrins National Park’s GR50 and 54 trails. The site’s also cyclist-friendly – it has a workshop area chock-full of the equipment needed to repair your ride.

Local attractions

The most adventurous types of travellers come to Le Bourg d'Oisans with the aim of scaling the massive Alpe d'Huez peak, mountain biking around Oisans’ six valleys or trying out sports such as canoeing and paragliding. If you want to hike but aren’t up for a trek that’s too tricky, drive to Danchère’s carpark (15 minutes' drive) and take the gentler trail on the righthand side of the river towards Lake Lauvitel (three hours’ round-trip walk). Look out for the marmots while you're enroute to the glacier-blue waters of this gorgeous spot. A shorter stroll lands you at the Cascade de la Pisse waterfall (20 minutes by car to the trail), a prime place for a picnic. Post-eats, head back to base via the Musée Des Minéraux (mineral museum) in Le Bourg d'Oisans to learn about the intriguing geology of the landscape you’ve been exploring.
