4-Star Hotels in Corps

For those who find their rhythm on winding mountain roads, the small commune of Corps is a perfect Alpine basecamp. It sits at the foot of the legendary Lac du Sautet, a vast reservoir where the waters mirror the peaks of the Dévoluy massif. The real draw is the proximity to some of France's most dramatic passes; you're a short drive from the switchbacks of the Col du Noyer and the famous ascent to the ski stations of the nearby resort of SuperDévoluy. It’s a place for active days spent hiking the GR 94 trail or paragliding from the surrounding hills, followed by quiet evenings in the village square.

Corps suits independent travelers, cyclists, and families seeking a genuine slice of French mountain life away from the major resorts. The village itself is compact, so staying anywhere within the central area puts you within easy reach of bakeries, a few restaurants, and the essential amenities. Having your own car is practically a necessity here, as it unlocks the entire region, though regional bus services connect to larger towns like Gap. The atmosphere is relaxed and entirely seasonal, with a quiet charm outside of the winter and summer activity peaks.

Accommodation here is straightforward and functional, dominated by a handful of friendly family-run hotels and seasonal gîtes that cater to outdoor enthusiasts. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the simple and welcoming Hôtel Le Prorel, which offers the classic comforts needed after a day in the mountains. Think hearty meals, terraces with valley views, and a place to store your bike.
