For Valentine's Day, Les Lodges de la Valière offers a warm and intimate retreat, ideal for a romantic gourmet getaway for two above Lake Serre-Ponçon.
With a private spa, tailor-made services, and passionate local partners, everything has been designed so that you can focus on what matters most: your relationship. You will arrive in a setting where every detail invites relaxation, togetherness, and the simple pleasures of the mountains in winter.
How about celebrating Valentine's Day at Les Lodges de la Valière?
Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Before you know it, February 14 will be here. Winter in the Hautes-Alpes naturally creates a romantic atmosphere: fresh snow crunching underfoot, the low light of the mountains, cozy evenings in front of a wood stove. At Les Lodges de la Valière, located in Chorges near Lake Serre-Ponçon, you can settle into a luxury wooden chalet, fully equipped with a private outdoor spa or indoor sauna, depending on the accommodation.
And to make your stay even more perfect, you will receive a complimentary bottle of champagne on the evening of February 14.
This is not a crowded resort, but a quiet place, designed for couples who want to reconnect. Just a few minutes from the village of Chorges and the turquoise lake, even in winter, you can easily alternate between wild nature, gourmet moments, and cozy moments, without sacrificing comfort or privacy. Imagine arriving in the late afternoon, the sun setting over the Alps, and discovering your lodge ready to welcome you: queen-size bed made up, soft bathrobes, a small bottle chilled if you requested it (in addition to the one offered for this special evening). It's this kind of luxurious simplicity that makes all the difference for a successful Valentine's Day.
Your lodge, your bubble
Each accommodation at Les Lodges de la Valière invites you to create your own bubble. Wood everywhere, generous spaces, a cozy atmosphere enhanced by a pellet stove, a terrace overlooking the forest, and a Nordic bath steaming under the snow. Everything is designed for independence and comfort: a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, fine tableware, a spacious bathroom, and of course a private wellness area that varies depending on the model—an outdoor jacuzzi spa for some, a sauna and cold bath for others.
When you arrive, you put down your bags, the fire crackles, and your stay begins immediately. You decide the pace: sleep in with coffee and pastries or charcuterie and eggs delivered to your door, a hot bath in the middle of the day to recover from a walk, an impromptu dinner or catered meal on the coffee table. No noise, just the silence of the mountains. It's the perfect place to leave your phones behind and refocus on meaningful conversations, lingering glances, and moments stolen from everyday life.
Resolutely romantic services
Our romantic services transform a simple stay into a memorable interlude, without unnecessary fuss. For example, book a personalized welcome: a bottle of champagne or local wine chilled, discreet rose petals on the bed, a soft playlist, or even a handwritten letter for your loved one. It always surprises, and sets the mood as soon as you walk through the door.
For dinner, how about a candlelit evening in your lodge? And after that, enjoy a spa moment: the warm water of the jacuzzi under the stars, the heat of the sauna, the absolute calm of the high alpine night. Of course, it's up to you to decide and imagine your evening as you wish, but we already know that our ideas will appeal to you and perfectly match your desires.
The setting of Chorges does the rest: Lake Serre-Ponçon just a few minutes away, the snow-capped mountains all around, a landscape that naturally inspires tenderness and closeness. All you have to do is enjoy it, hand in hand.
Want to savor everything without leaving your lodge?
Gastronomy is at the heart of the Lodges de la Valière experience, with products from the Hautes-Alpes showcased in an uncomplicated way. Opt for a convivial raclette: fine charcuterie from the Salaison du Champsaur, melting cheeses from the Fromagerie de la Durance, local potatoes, all delivered and ready to enjoy. It's the perfect dish for spending hours at the table, serving each other, putting the world to rights between mouthfuls of steaming food.
The trois planches apéritives suitable for any occasion: a light version to accompany pre-spa drinks, a charcuterie and cheese platter for an impromptu dinner, or a generous spread for a lively evening. No need to go shopping or cook: everything arrives fresh, beautifully presented, and ready to enjoy.
Local partners to make your evenings perfect
We work with passionate artisans who bring their expertise right to your doorstep. L'Entressens signature sweet treats (petit fours, individual desserts, macarons) to end the meal on a refined note or accompany an evening tea. Ailfoud and Alpine Truck, local caterers offer complete menus tailored to the occasion: starter, main course, and dessert made with seasonal ingredients, delivered hot or easy to reheat.
The boulangerie Amat provides crusty breads and artisanal pastries, ideal for lazy breakfasts for two by the fireside. Marion de Butine, a local beekeeper, offers pure honey from the Hautes-Alpes that enhances everything: buttered toast, plain yogurt, evening herbal teas, or even a spoonful in champagne. These partners are high-quality local suppliers, people from the region who put their heart into every product. The result: you can taste the terroir without leaving the comfort of your lodge. It's simple, delicious, and frees up time for what matters most.

How about treating yourselves to a real wellness break for two?
After enjoying fine dining, wellness naturally takes over. Each lodge has a dedicated area: an outdoor Nordic spa bubbling under the snow, a wooden sauna for enveloping dry heat, and sometimes a cold bath for those who enjoy contrasts. These facilities are private, with no neighbors in sight, for total relaxation for two.
Imagine the ritual: returning from a walk, a steamy spa session, an invigorating shower, terrycloth bathrobes, honey herbal tea on the coffee table. Then a catered dinner or aperitif platter, curled up on the sofa in front of the fire. Everything contributes to helping you disconnect: no WiFi, no noise, just the sound of the spa water and the crackling of the stove. It's a break that recharges your batteries, strengthens your bond, and leaves you with a rare feeling of lightness as a couple.
Winter, snow, and turquoise lakes
February at Les Lodges de la Valière offers a varied winter playground, just 5 minutes from Chorges and Lake Serre-Ponçon. Ski for a day at Réallon or at Orres, Family-friendly resorts accessible in 40 minutes max, for a dose of adrenaline before cocooning. Strap on snowshoes for gentle hikes with breathtaking views of the turquoise lake, or opt for walks in winter boots on marked trails, camera in hand to capture the alpine landscapes.
Stroll through the neighboring villages: Gap for its lively market, Embrun for its Provençal architecture under the snow, or the hilltop hamlets for a coffee break with a view. These outings spice up your stay, but the real luxury is coming back to the lodge, tired just enough, for a spa treatment and a cuddle. You choose the intensity, whether sporty or contemplative, your days adapt to your mood.
