The advantages of the accommodation
Description
Discover the Gîte Natur'Ailes, an exceptional place located in the charming village of Ruffieu, in the heart of the Bugey region of the Ain. Ideal for a stay combining comfort, nature and authenticity in an unspoilt setting. Furnished with care, the mini chalet is bright and welcoming, and offers panoramic views of the Bugey mountains. You can wander along the narrow roads and lanes of the Valromey, discovering waterfalls (Ceyzérieu waterfall, Pain de Sucre, Charabotte waterfall, etc.), geological curiosities (Thurignin gorge, Groin spring, etc.) and typical little villages at the foot of the legendary Grand Colombier pass. The 4-season resort of Les Plans d'Hotonnes and the Plateau de Retord are close by, offering a wide range of sporting activities in both summer and winter (snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ski wheeling, hiking, horse riding, cani rando, mountain biking, electric scooters.....). Passing the Col de la Rochette, you'll arrive on the Hauteville plateau, a mid-mountain plateau renowned for its pure, dry air, as well as its many activities (adventure course, swimming pool, etc.), shops and services, and a casino. You're only half an hour from the Cerdon caves and their prehistoric leisure park, or, for those who prefer a swim, from Lake Lalleyriat and Lake Nantua. For those with their head in the stars, the Col de la Lèbe observatory also offers a range of activities and events. This 20m2 mini chalet can accommodate up to 2 people and is perfectly equipped to meet all your needs. On the ground floor, you'll find a small, fully-equipped kitchen with a sitting area and a shower room. There is also a mezzanine with a 140x190cm double bed (accessed via a steep staircase). Possibility of additional bedding for a child (ask the owner). Beds are made up and towels and toiletries are provided. A small grocery shop (sugar, coffee, teas, salt, pepper, oil, etc.) is also available to get your stay off to a good start. Come and enjoy a rejuvenating, authentic and soothing experience in the Natur'Ailes chalet!
