Ferme du Pas de l'Aiguille, Mountain campground in Chichilianne, France
Ferme du Pas de l'Aiguille is a campground set on a mountain meadow at 1000 meters elevation with views toward Mont Aiguille and surrounding forests. It provides heated caravans, common facilities, and solar-powered hot water systems for tent and van campers.
Eric Vallier established this enterprise in 1997 in the hamlet of Donnière, converting an agricultural property into a camping destination. This transformation reflected growing interest in outdoor stays near the Vercors highlands.
The farm sells organic meat and local products directly to visitors, including pork, lamb, and cheese from regional producers. This gives guests a taste of what the surrounding area produces and values.
The site accepts tent and van campers without advance booking except during peak season, making it flexible for spontaneous visits. Guests should be prepared for mountain weather conditions that vary with the season.
The property sits just 500 meters from climbing and hiking paths, making it a practical jumping-off point for mountain activities in the area. This proximity to established routes means visitors can easily explore longer mountain adventures.
