In Valgrisenche, where nature dances through the seasons, Maison Bovard opens as a haven of tranquility and beauty. Nestled in the picturesque village of Gerbelle, just a few steps from the capital, this historic residence invites guests to immerse themselves in alpine serenity. Here, the landscape offers a charm that changes: in autumn, colors blend into warm tones, while winter blankets the earth with a soft layer of snow, and spring brings the fragrance of flowers, culminating in the warm and blooming summer.
Inside, the house, restored with local materials and great care, retains the charm of its origins. The rooms, decorated with details that unite tradition and modernity, tell a story that dates back to 1674, with subsequent renovations that have preserved its authenticity. Guests will find cozy beds adorned with cotton sheets and natural wool blankets, an invitation to relaxation and rest.
Breakfast, served in the warm environment that once housed the stable, is a true tribute to local flavors. Heated by the soapstone stove, guests can indulge in Alpenzu jams, local honey, milk, and butter, fresh ingredients that narrate the territory.
Maison Bovard is an excellent starting point for those who wish to explore the mountain's beauty: whether it is hiking to the Surier and Miollet waterfalls, skiing or a family ski day, opportunities abound here. Valgrisenche, with its slopes and peaks, offers activities for every level, including adventurous free climbing routes and cross-country trails suitable for all.
During their stay, guests can also discover the rich local heritage, visiting the pastures where cheeses like Fontina are produced or immersing themselves in the art of fabric weaving at artisan cooperatives. Every corner of this alpine basin invites discovery and enjoyment, an invitation to experience the mountain in all its authenticity.
