The development
Le hameau des Rennes is a unique development grouping chalets at an altitude of 2000 metres, in an exceptional location benefiting from a luxurious mountain atmosphere, at the foot of the slopes and ski lifts. The chalets are a faithful reproduction of the noble and authentic Queyrassin style with larch roofs and traditional balconies, robust yet refined. Each apartment has been designed to ensure maximum comfort, meeting all your needs, with their spacious living areas, refined decor and top of the range materials, as well as coming with balconies and parking. A range of services are also available such as an indoor pool, a sauna, a fitness room and room service.

The location
The residence is in La Foret Blanche, at the heart of the Vars region, a distinctive mountain setting, replete with tradition and history, and importantly, 300 sunny days a year. Vars is in fact made up of four villages (Saint-Marcellin, Sainte-Marie, Sainte-Catherine and Les Claux) each with their own distinctive history and atmosphere, but all offering a sumptuous ski experience. A range of shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars are available to suit everyone’s tastes. The Vars area combined with neighbouring Risoul encompasses La Foret Blanche, a giant ski area offering 185 km of skiable domain, with 108 pistes and 50 ski lifts. There are plenty of runs for beginners with gentle slopes, ample intermediate ones and also more challenging runs (11 black runs) and a good amount of off-piste.

Activities
In winter hit the slopes for alpine skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, sledging, dog sledding , the snow park and snow mobiles. In summer try horse riding, trekking, mountain biking, tennis, archery, volley ball, paragliding and rock climbing.

Local food and specialities
The gratin dauphinois (thinly sliced potatoes cooked with cream and garlic) is a popular dish of the area, as are tourtons (a fried doughnut with potato and leeks), raviolis, the petit Bayard (blue cheese), and Oreilles d’anes- a sort of lasagne with a cep and spinach stuffing. To drink it has to be the Genepi, a liqueur flavoured with an aromatic mountain herb.
