The GCU Vallouise campsite is nestled in the Écrins Massif, offering a peaceful and sunny location at 1166 meters altitude, ensuring fresh nights. Located near the Écrins National Park, it provides access to breathtaking landscapes, glaciers, and picturesque villages like Vallouise and Puy Aillaud, while the fortified city of Briançon showcases Vauban’s military architecture. The campsite features 114 pitches with 6A (1320W) electricity, welcoming tents, caravans, and motorhomes, with a dedicated service area for motorhomes. A modern sanitary block includes PMR facilities and a baby area, while three washing machines add convenience. Guests enjoy WiFi access, a meeting room, and a volleyball court, though barbecues are strictly prohibited. The digitalized administration system streamlines processes, and access is best via D 994E rather than the narrow D 4 road. The campsite is ideal for hiking in the Écrins, leading to refuges like Sélé, where a shared overnight stay offers a unique experience. Activities include kayaking, rafting on the Durance, rock climbing, via ferrata, mountaineering, paragliding, and mountain biking. A swimming pool with a slide is nearby, and the Briançonnais Astronomy Center in Bouchier Refuge offers telescopes and a planetarium. It’s the perfect destination for nature, adventure, and culture, combining outdoor sports with the rich heritage of Briançon and its 15th-century churches.
