About

Les 5 Saisons
The comfort of a hotel, the atmosphere of a mountain hut

We wanted to create a welcoming place where you can feel at home, enjoy the natural surroundings, play outdoors, enjoy all kinds of outdoor sports, and make the most of life in the French mountains, with good food and fine beers on the terrace.

From the Netherlands to the Hautes-Alpes
Our story

In search of wilder nature, mountains and four proper seasons, we left the Netherlands to settle in France at the end of 2021. We ended up in Saint-Crépin, near the Freissinières valley. We often went to the valley for hiking, cycling and splitboarding, and that’s where we discovered that Les 5 Saisons was for sale. A great shared project where we can put our knowledge and experience to good use, as well as our dreams of nature, games, outdoor sports and good food.

In January 2025, Emiel finally convinced Jitske to visit the hotel, and six months later, we were the proud owners of Les 5 Saisons.
