RENTAL BARATIER : 

In the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, Baratier is a peaceful commune nestled between the lake of Serre-Ponçon and the town of Embrun. Located near major winter sports resorts and on a territory steeped in history, it is an unmissable destination for families seeking peace and quiet in the mountains.

Rich with a grandiose heritage, the territory of Baratier is perfect for history lovers. This village does not fail to celebrate its past through many guided tours of the most important sites. The oldest vestige found in the commune is a dagger blade dating from the Bronze Age. Other unusual monuments are to be discovered in the surroundings. Today a symbol of the city, the sniper served both for the personal use of local residents and for commercial use. We can't miss Saint-Chaffrey's church either. Built in the 15th century, its sober and bare interior is typical of churches in the Durance valley. But the historic site of Baratier is undoubtedly the archaeological site of the Monges hutch. It has been said for a long time that this site had been inhabited : the pre-Roman voice of passage located nearby, the coins found... Yet it was only in 2005 that archaeological excavations began on these sites. They lead to a phenomenal discovery : the remains of a 4th century Gallo-Roman villa ! The site is now protected and accompanied by panels explaining its origins and discovery. During school holidays, guided tours of the site or other monuments of the city are organized each week to satisfy history lovers.

Located in the heart of the Southern Alps, Baratier is a gateway to several large resorts ! Winter sports or outdoor activities enthusiasts, the Durance valley is made for you. From the village, you can easily reach the Orres, an internationally renowned resort, or the Embrun resorts. Baratier allows you to enjoy incredible trails and to stay in a peaceful and serene place, away from the constant bustle of the big resorts. Happiness for skier families!

From the first rays of sunshine, Baratier becomes festive. Events multiply from July to November. Exhibitions of old photos of the village, concerts and shows celebrating all cultures, a treasure hunt... There is something for all tastes and all ages in Baratier during the summer season.
