Camping Les Auches

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.
