Property
Coliving and coworking space for mountain loving digital nomads and remote workers this is an ideal place if you are looking to get inspired and productive.

Located at the edge of the UNESCO protected citadel of Briançon, with unobstructed views down the valley, the house was fully renovated to make it comfy and functional. The bedrooms are on the first and third floors, and the whole second floor is dedicated to common spaces, including a shared fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with two large tables, a chill room with comfy couches, two coworking spaces with ergonomic chairs and soon a skype room. The house also has a washing room (washing machine + tumble dryer), and a big workout room (with yoga matts).

The community is a very important aspect of this stay. Because they believe that when we bring people together, magic happens, they organize many community activities every week. In practice, every Monday evening the team along with the guests define what will happen during the week. Everyone can suggest an activity and is free to join or not. This way, everyone can organize themselves workwise and free their schedule when there is an activity they want to participate in.

So many activities are organized that it is hard to list them all. Things happen both inside - dinners, game nights, workshops... - and outside - thermal baths, hiking, snowboarding… The sky's the limit!

If you love people and mountains, this is your place!

Flora and fauna
This region is known for its pine forests, glaciers, humid zones and altitude rocks. It's a home for a wide variety of natural environments that shelter a diversity of animals and plants. You can often hear the cries of the nutcracker echo in the larch- and silver pine forests. In the mountain grasslands you can spot many insects, among which the beautiful butterfly ‘Apollon’, marmots, voles and their main predator, the ermine.

During your hikes in the mountains, you’ll maybe have the luck to encounter some chamois. Birds like the golden eagle, the owl ‘grand duc’ and the peregrine falcon make their nests in the cliffs. On the steep rocky alpine gradients alpine sometimes you can encounter an ibex or even animals like the ptarmigan (white partridge) that changes its plumage according to the seasons.

Social ecosystem
The accommodation is located in Briancon, Europe’s highest town in the heart of Ecrins National Park and at the foot of one of France’s largest ski resorts, Serre Chevalier.

The UNESCO protected citadel of Briançon, aka “Cité Vauban”, feels like a village within the town. It has its own ecosystem and people living there are referred to as “Gargouillards”. The citadel’s narrow streets host many cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, art galleries, and other wonders. Various guided historical/cultural visits are organized on a regular basis by the city.

There are no official networking spots or meetups but the accommodation organizes a lot of them, especially during winter months.
