Le Monêtier-les-Bains can be found to the north of the Alps in the stunning valley of the Guisane, where it is an important part of the winter sports district of Serre-Chevalier. As well as many opportunities for skiing and snowboarding, the resort also provides a 'thermal bathing centre', a feature created after a resource of natural hot water was discovered below the village. The establishment offers a relaxing natural bath, which has been used for clinical purposes since the 19th century, and is a must-see on any trip to this corner of the region.

As well as the baths, Le Monêtier-les-Bains also offers the opportunity for glacier camping, and visits to the Museum of Sacred Art, home to one of the finest collections of the region's art and a staple of any visit to the region since 1997. The rich gatherings of religious heritage mean this venue provides not only sport in abundance, but also a wealth of culture. Check here at EasyToBook.com for the best value hotels to start your trip.
