Winter

Winter at the Feing des Loges: warm and cosy in the valley

Infrared sauna under the roof beams, film nights, lakes, snowshoeing or skiing depending on snow: a peaceful winter in an 1829 farmhouse in Vagney.

A warm winter

In winter, the house gathers around the warmth. The ground floor has underfloor heating, the infrared sauna waits under the roof beams and the big table welcomes raclettes and fondues.

The gîte is not at the foot of the slopes: it sits peacefully in the valley. Snow or no snow, winter here is first enjoyed indoors and close by.

The infrared sauna in the games room, lit in colours — The sauna in the evening.

At the house
