Our take
I would choose Hotel Castillan for a stay in La Grave, the high-mountain village facing La Meije on the edge of the Écrins National Park. Some rooms have a south-facing loggia looking onto the Meije glacier, worth requesting. The pool and sauna help after a day outdoors, the restaurant serves regional cuisine, and parking and Wi-Fi are free. The 8.6 rating from 148 reviews is consistent. La Grave suits experienced skiers more than beginners.
- Ask for a south-facing loggia room to enjoy the best views of the Meije glacier.
- Make sure to try the regional cuisine at the hotel's restaurant for an authentic taste of the area.
- Take advantage of the pool and sauna to relax and unwind after a day of skiing or hiking.
