The Neighborhood:
Located at an altitude of 1,326 metres, Briançon is officially the highest city in Europe! This City of Art of History, fortified by French military architect Vauban in the 18th century, is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site precisely because of its remarkable group of fortifications built between the 18th and 20th centuries in order to improve the town's defence system. Within the town there are great alpine restaurants and bars to eat and drink, and during winter and the ski-season, Briancon becomes a magical place.

Getting Around:
Whilst it is recommended that you bring or hire a car to get to the chalet, There is now an on demand bus service called WiiLiiK, it works similar to Uber and you can order a bus as and when you need to via an App and it services the whole valley.
