If Puy-Sanières enjoys a privileged location in the Hautes-Alpes in part through its dominant position on the right bank of the lake of Serre-Ponçon and peripheral zone of the Ecrins National Park.

The six main villages that make up the village are located at 1200 meters altitude on the plateau Puys, this magnificent natural view on the southern slopes of Mount William. Who said southern flank said exceptional sunshine, mild climate and beautiful scenery.

The village church is no lack of style with its characteristic bell pretty, decorated her porch and sundial.

Just above the village is a bucolic place to hope: the Lock, here, not barge but a range of discreet picnic arranged near a small pond surrounded by willow trees.
