An former alpine Savoyard hay barn that has been converted into a 5-bed luxury chalet, five minutes from the Grand Massif ski area. The owners haven't skimped on creature comforts, providing a storage and drying room, a mini climbing wall, hammock, wifi and a wood-fired hot tub, yet it all comes with impressive eco credentials: the name refers to the mountain source/spring that supplies the lodge's water, the owners have recycled all the old wood into doors and cupboards, bought new wood from a sustainable timber yard (800m away), double insulated it with recycled newspaper, fitted triple glazed windows, a super efficient wood pellet burner and a wood-fired sauna. Travel by train, shared car, hitch or bike and you'll get a €100 discount in the winter and €50 reduction in the summer.
