Description

Au calme parfait, accès facile. Près d'un restaurant (ouvert 1 Juillet) d'altitude pour les pizzas. Site payant : 10€ par nuit + taxe de séjour. Le stationnement est également interdit aux Camping-cars du 15/12 au 15/4.

The Camper’s take

High-altitude parking (1600m) at Chazelet with stunning north-facing Meije views. Exceptionally quiet mountain spot offering free toilets (no light), water point, and waste bins. Official 10€ nightly fee with inconsistent enforcement. Excellent hiking trailheads nearby. Easy access except narrow final village approach. Winter restrictions (15/12-15/4) if snow. Nearby restaurant. Popular with trekkers and nature seekers.

Highlights

  • Stunning views of La Meije and the glaciers
  • Remarkably peaceful, very little noise
  • Direct and varied hikes start here
  • Free toilets and water

Good to know

  • Toilets without lighting, uncomfortable at night
  • Narrow access to the last village (icy roads risky in winter)
  • Parking prohibited Dec 15–Apr 15 (winter)
  • The announced payment (€10) was rarely enforced, causing confusion

Motorhome access : Flat to slightly sloped parking with easy maneuvering. Entry possible, but the last hamlet (Terrasses) has a very narrow, slippery road in winter. At least 7.5m clearance confirmed.
