Types of Holiday Rentals in Briancon
There is a good selection of apartments to rent in Briançon, and several houses and chalets to rent in Briançon too.
I found a great little detached house to rent in Briançon, which has 4 bedrooms and it’s own private parking. It is within 0.7 kilometres of a ski run, will sleep 8 people, and is very reasonably priced. I’d suggest booking early in the ski season though, to avoid disappointment.
If you are looking for an apartment to rent in Briançon, I found a lovely modern one with 3 bedrooms close to the town centre and shops. It can sleep 8 people, and is beautifully decked out with timber floors and beams, and is again very reasonably priced.
