A village house at 950 metres, entirely yours and fully looked after — so all you have to do is guide your group.
Tell us about your projectLa Vaulxoise lends itself naturally to small retreats. The whole house is yours, exclusively — and above all, it comes fully hosted and managed. You arrive with your group and your programme; everything else — the set-up, the meals, the Nordic bath, the laundry, the upkeep — is already taken care of.
Yoga · cycling · wellbeing · women's retreats · walking & trail · writing — the house welcomes every kind of retreat, and the table adapts to each one.
A house run with real care for its surroundings: local produce, wood heating, and as little waste as possible.
Most venues hand you the keys and leave you to organise everything. Here, a host and cook keeps the house running around your group — present, but never underfoot.
During your stay, the house and its garden are entirely private. Four bedrooms sleep up to eight, and a large table brings everyone together for meals.
The living room, warm around the stove, becomes the heart of the evenings — an evening circle, conversation, rest.
The living room clears for the morning practice; in fine weather, the pergola and terrace open the session onto the mountains. area to confirm
An open, fully equipped kitchen and a light-filled table for ten — the gathering point of every day.
Four bright bedrooms on the second floor, old parquet and linen washed with eucalyptus. Some open onto the balcony and the mountains.
Meals are prepared on site from local, seasonal produce. The kitchen is entirely vegetarian — a choice that reflects how we care for this place, and one that lets local ingredients take centre stage.
Depending on the season, some of the vegetables come from the house garden. Menus then adapt to the spirit of your retreat — light and cleansing, comforting, or more sustaining for a group of cyclists. Particular diets — vegan, gluten-free, allergies — are accommodated: just let us know in advance. In the morning, fresh bread and pastries from a nearby bakery.
A wood-fired Nordic bath, outdoors, under the stars — the high point of a day's practice. Warming up in the cold, together, facing the peaks: it's the image your participants will keep.
coming soon: a cold plunge for the hot-cold cycle, and a sauna — to be added once installed
For free afternoons or a big group outing, we scout and personalise the routes to your retreat's level and theme — from a gentle loop by the lake to a full day on the ridges.
The six routes in our guide give a taste; on booking, we create the walks and outings that suit your group. Trails, swimming lakes, the legendary climbs of the Oisans — the terrain is vast.
A menu of options to compose around your group. Tell us what would delight you, and we'll arrange it.
A tasting of regional wines at the long table, with a local producer.
A practitioner comes to the house for massage or treatments, after a day of practice or walking.
A mountain leader for a guided walk, or a guide for an outing in the climbs.
We arrange transfers to and from the airport or station, for a group arriving without a car.
Tell us your dates, the size of your group and the spirit of your retreat — and we'll see together how the house can host it, and what experiences to add.
