The Bayard Centre is a youth hostel style accommodation perfectly situated on the edge of the Gap Bayard Golf Course which is also a cross country ski base in winter.
It is also well located for other summer alpine activities and not far from downhill ski villages and winter activities. The nearest village is the medieval village of St Bonnet just 10 minutes drive away.
There are walks and waymarked running routes with circuit training stations situated around the course that are open to anyone as well as mountain biking routes. In winter there are of course cross country ski pistes but also snowshoeing walks straight from the door.
There are a range of rooms including twin and double rooms, family rooms and dormitories sleeping up to 6 people. They are all ensuite and newly refurbished. The standard is quite basic but very clean and well maintained and the centre is a friendly place to stay.
There is a restaurant where you can eat breakfast, lunch and evening meals with the other guests and look out onto the golf course or cross country ski pistes and mountains beyond. The food is good and includes specialities of the region. There is also a bar.
Outside is a sun terrace with great views and relaxing atmosphere.
This is a great place to stay for small groups or families wanting good value accommodation in a good location.
Total capacity 80 people.
