Welcome to Access-i

Auberge de Jeunesse de La Roche-Champlon

Looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of city life? Welcome to La Roche-Champlon Youth Hostel !

Nature, sport, hiking, cycling and even cross-country skiing will fill your hours of relaxation. And don't forget the south-facing terrace, where you can enjoy a game of pétanque, a game of volleyball or an aperitif on your return from a walk !

We'll leave you to imagine the summer barbecues, the endless games of table tennis... And you can even pitch your tent here !

This local stone hostel will be the starting point for great adventures, wonderful discoveries and great encounters.

The hostel has 83 beds in 14 rooms. You can book as an individual or a group, or even rent the whole hostel as a self-catering holiday home.

There is one easily accessible room for 3 people on the ground floor, but there are no rooms or toilets adapted for people with motor disabilities.

Access and circulation on the upper floors are more complicated : unsecured staircases, isolated unsecured steps in the corridors and bathroom areas.

Breakfast is included in the overnight stay. For other meals, you have the choice between restaurant service or individual use of the AJ kitchen.

Only the ground floor has been taken into account in assessing accessibility levels.
