Accommodation: Full apartment-vacation house

In the 300 year old farmhouse 'the Donkey' a large apartment with a private entrance is available to rent . For availability and prices contact us via the Contact page or visit www.Natuurhuisje.nl (Reference ID: 54115)


There is no store in the village, and the Gite is out of business due to the Corina situation.
The town of Briancon is 15 minutes away. By mountain bike to town is also only 15 min downhill. Back up again is as much as 40 minutes of hard pedaling. In Cervieres you can rent bikes, see the page General.

Through the local tourist office you can find many activities in the area: canoeing, paragliding, but people mainly come to Terre Rouge for mountain hiking or just to relax. From Terre Rouge itself, several hikes can be started from a few hours to a full day. From the next village, Cervieres, one can even hike over the Col to Italy and then return by bus or hitchhiking.
In the mountains, no matter how beautiful the weather is, it is important to always bring enough warm clothing and a raincoat. If you are going alone, always let someone know in advance where you are going and when you will be back at the latest (and do not deviate from your route plan).
