This was my first true community colive, I’ve been in others numerous times, and the experience was truly touching and unique. The hosts, Fabienne and Ben, were always there to help, plan, suggest and organize trips. Everyone staying there is warm and welcoming and inclusive. From communal dinners every night, to short or multi day hut hikes it was the perfect experience in the mountains. Having seasoned climbers and hikers, hosts and guests, really pushes you to try more challenging terrain in a safe supportive community. There are trails for hiking and trail running right outside the house at all levels of difficulty with some of the most gorgeous views. It so compelling that I will be going back for the winter to ski and explore a completely different landscape The rooms are well furnished, kitchen - well stocked, colive - well appointed with fast WiFi and the house - very cozy. Plus the cutest colive dog - Winchy. This is not a town for bars or parties though your house mates will be happy to oblige. It’s a tiny town of 300 and I saw at most 10 people at a time. There are more cows and sheep. But it’s idyllic, tranquil, and fresh with stunning views. If you love the outdoors, go there! Enough said.
