Why your dog will love
living at Châteauvieux ?
Your dog runs free through an alpine canyon. You breathe, take photos, share the moment. And you both come home transformed. While your loved ones jump or glide above Gap-Tallard, you and your dog live your own adventure, right here in Châteauvieux.
The holiday your dog has been dreaming of. And so have you.
Every evening, your dog falls asleep worn out with happiness. Every morning, you wake up in the Alps. And you go home with photos no one else could ever give you.
🏡 What you take home from this stay
A truly happy dog. He runs free across 6,000 m², joins the morning bikejoring ride through the canyon, and comes home every evening exhausted and content.
Unforgettable photos. Your dog racing through alpine light, you by his side — photographed every morning, screened every evening, yours to keep as a souvenir.
A real disconnection. Zero electromagnetic networks, a 100-hectare nature reserve at the doorstep — you sleep deeply, you finally breathe.
Here, your dog is expected.
He lives free
A 6,000 m² enclosed estate, a shared dog enclosure around the house, a 100-hectare nature reserve at the doorstep. No more permanent leash — here, he explores.
He runs every morning
A daily bikejoring (caniVTT) ride through the canyon with Philiboss and Vahina: your dog runs with them, you ride at his side. He comes home exhausted — you, amazed.
You travel light
No need to bring your own gear: a professional rental shop in Châteauvieux equips you with mountain bikes for your entire stay.
At your own pace, from sunrise to the big screen.
At dawn, your dog takes off into the canyon
A daily bikejoring ride with Philiboss and Vahina, at the foot of a protected nature reserve. Your dogs run, you pedal through the alpine light — and the morning’s photos will be screened in the evening.
Optional, for guests only · Mountain bike rental from a professional shop in Châteauvieux
You gather around the big table — breakfast included
The moment when guests come together, chat and share the previous day’s pictures. The kitchen and dining room remain at your disposal all day long.
You choose: swimming, hiking — or doing nothing at all
River, mountain lake, alpine trails. Philiboss offers outings to guests who wish to join. Everyone follows their own mood — or simply stays on the terrace, facing the Alps.
Optional, for guests only
You relive your day on the big screen
The day’s photos projected on the big screen — your dog in full stride, you in the canyon light. We look together at what everyone saw, and we laugh.
Optional, for guests only · Shared dinner on request
Everything is possible. Nothing is imposed.

Philiboss & Vahina know every trail — and will bring them to life for you.
A guesthouse gives you a room. Philiboss guides you along the trails he rides every morning with Vahina, photographs your finest moments, and screens them each evening.
Thirty-five years of art and stage have taught him one thing: hosting means creating a moment you’ll never forget.
