Ski holidays La Joue du Loup - small, but nice!

La Joue du Loup

La Joue du Loup in English translates to "the wolf's cheek". However, this cosy location in the south west of the Départements Hautes-Alpes is everything but raw and wild. The still-young ski village is a snowy and well-maintained station in the heart of the Seealpen, around 95 km away from Grenoble, and stands for comfort and family-friendly ski fun! While castles are nowhere to be found, a lot more awaits in this little location, with its cosy chalets traditionally constructed of wood- hence the charming nickname, the "Village of Wood".

Despite its humble size, La Joue du Loup is certainly not to be overlooked. In the lively village centre, you can find shops, restaurants and cafes waiting to be strolled by, sauntered into, and feasted in. Due to the size of the location, you can go exclusively a short distance to the lifts, shops, and dining opportunities. Diverse leisure activities, such as snowshoe hiking, dog- or horse-sledding, or even movie theatre nights provide plenty of variety besides the pistes. The way to the ski area SuperDévoluy lies right in the area.

Dévoluy

In the south of France, right on the border with neighbouring Italy, rise the impressive peaks of the Maritime Alps. At an altitude of up to 3,297 metres, this mountain range in the southern Western Alps offers visitors not only pure skiing pleasure, but also plenty of sunshine. The slopes below the Pierra d'Agnières (2,510 m), which are initially rugged and then gently sloping, open up a snow paradise in the Maritime Alps! Around the Massif du Dévoluy, winter sports fans can expect around 100 kilometres of varied pistes for all levels. The excellent infrastructure and modern snow-making facilities guarantee absolute skiing pleasure for young and old alike.
