A barma is a rocky outcrop, a shelter where one takes refuge during a mountain storm. Here, in this place, the barma is like a hollow tree, one of those trees you can crawl into to observe the snow sliding on top of other layers of snow. Ancient dwelling dating back to 1724. It is located in the heart of the village of Estoul, a quaint mountain village situated at an altitude of 1850 meters and overlooking the Ayas valley. In winter, a short distance away (about 200 meters) from the Brusson - Palasinaz ski facilities. In summer, it is the ideal starting point for numerous hiking trails, both on foot and by mountain bike. Or simply, an ideal place to rest and enjoy a life still in contact with nature. You may come across Grandma Anna's grazing cows or Graziella's chickens scratching around in the meadow next to the trail. You will probably also see Mauro passing by with large buckets of water as he tends to his garden. Or, if you're lucky, you might come across a deer or a stag in the evening, who, distracted, has come too close to the houses.
