Right at the heart of Briançon, in the vibrant ski resort of Serre Chevalier, Chalet Ursa is perched among the staggeringly beautiful scenery of the southern Alps. Briançon lays claim to being the highest city in France and has become a much-loved base for visitors.
It’s not only the incredible views that draw visitors here, the historic charm of the old town has also positioned this special area firmly on the map. You’ll find lots of narrow streets winding between ancient churches, shops and extraordinary buildings – taking you on an exciting journey of discovery.
Much of the year Briançon is drenched in sunshine and blessed with blue skies, making this the perfect location for skiing in the winter months and cycling and walking during the summer. Park de la Schappe, with its glossy lakes, is also close by and well worth a visit, and the children will enjoy spending time on the adventure playgrounds.
Chalet Ursa is a 10-minute walk from Prorel gondola and the ski shops, and just five minutes from the town - a bustling hub where you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, bars and bakery.
Inside the lodge, light wood beams and walls mingle with contemporary furnishings to create an almost Scandinavian-style feel. The spacious, open-plan layout sits below a mezzanine floor and allows for relaxation and dining to go hand in hand. Comfy sofas, a large dining table in front of a fireplace and a modern kitchen flow into each other seamlessly. In the kitchen, rustic meets modern design and the exposed brick wall makes an attractive feature.
Throughout Chalet Ursa you’ll come across plenty of unexpected surprises, such as the cinema room with a bubbling Jacuzzi – who wouldn’t want to watch their favourite movie from beneath a hot tub of bubbles!
We’ve no doubt the children will banish the adults from the games room, although I’m sure you’ll be happy relaxing in the sauna or outdoor pool, when the weather permits.
The outside terrace is seriously impressive and cries out for guests to linger in the sunshine. Surrounded by trees, this secluded space has a private pool, swinging chair, hammock and dining area.
On the second floor, there are four den-like bedrooms nuzzled into the eaves of the lodge, each has its own en suite and an enviable view. The Master Bedroom has the additional benefit of a tree-top balcony and log fire, while the Junior Suite has a terrace overlooking the pool with a netted sun lounger and scatter cushions.
Ursa has been welcoming Chaletowners guests since 30 Apr 2019.
