The house
A mountain house in Saint-Dalmas
At 1,300 m on the Valdeblore plateau, between the Vésubie and Tinée valleys, Gîte les Marmottes welcomes hikers, cyclists and families at the crossroads of the GR5 and GR52, at the gateway to the Mercantour National Park.
The house is the kind that keeps its warmth: a wood stove in the common room, slippers by the door, the table set for dinner. You arrive by trail or by road — you come back for the evening light on the ridges.
- 8 rooms with a private shower room
- 24 beds across rooms and dorms
- GR5 · GR52 where the trails meet
The table
The table d'hôtes, family cooking
In the evening, everyone gathers around the big table: family cooking, local and organic produce, dishes that stick to your ribs after a day outside.
For your days out, the house prepares packed lunches, picnics and cold meals to take away — tomorrow's stage is won at breakfast.

They stayed here
Perfect stop on the GR52: warm welcome, delicious dinner at the shared table and a packed lunch ready at dawn. We'll be back for the via ferrata!
The ideal base camp in the Mercantour. Spotless room, secure bike storage and hosts who know every trail in the valley.
A lovely couple's weekend: the wood stove in the common room, homemade cooking and the silence of the plateau. A truly charming refuge.
