Description

The hotel is located in Villar d’Arène, a small village nestled at an elevation of 1,650 meters, 3 km from the La Meije massif.

Surrounding the hotel is the Écrins National Park, with its natural beauty and wildlife.
Whether in winter or summer, you’ll be warmly welcomed to our family-run hotel, where the watchword is: friendliness!

Whether you’re traveling in a group or on your own, whether your activities are guided or not, and regardless of your level of mountaineering experience, the entire Faranchin team is committed to making your stay unforgettable.

The hotel has 20 rooms, including 2 accessible rooms for guests with limited mobility, all recently renovated to 3-star standards.

Le Faranchin offers all-inclusive themed packages and is located 3 km from the La Grave cable car. During your stay, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities in the surrounding area.

Close to hiking trails, mountain lakes, and the legendary Lautaret and Galibier passes, Le Jardin du Lautaret is just a short distance away in the summer, and the Pays de la Meije Nordic ski area is only a few minutes away in the winter.

• Sustainable tourism : 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.
