The Hotel du Faranchin invites you to the edge of the world, in an exceptional mountain environment at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park.
Deeply rooted in this grandiose universe, open to all outdoor activities, the hotel has joined the Hôteliers Randonneurs agency to promote the development of sustainable, respectful tourism.
The main thrust of this approach is to guarantee appropriate, quality services at the right price. Providing a cozy, comforting environment is a priority for management, as is a tasty culinary experience (with mountain specialties reviewed by the chef!). All this is orchestrated by a set of eco-gestures that confirm the team's commitment.
