Presentation
Located 10 minutes from Gap, 15 minutes from the Serre-Ponçon lake, 30 minutes from the ski resorts of Ancelle and Réallon, the commune offers the population all the local services.
A dynamic town, it owes its charm to the peaks that surround it: the Pousterle and the Piolit, at 2,464 m, classified as a Natura 2000 site.
All the shops and services related to health and social services, public services and schools are grouped together in the heart of the town. This quality of service is highly prized and attracts more and more families each year. The commune is in full demographic and economic expansion.
The college of La Bâtie-Neuve, recognised as being of high environmental quality, welcomes 350 pupils every day in a magnificent setting.
A number of associations contribute all year round to the liveliness of La Bâtie-Neuve and offer numerous cultural, sporting and leisure activities for both inhabitants and travellers. There are many infrastructures: village hall, tennis courts, football stadium, bowling green, gym, paragliding and hang-gliding departure point, petanque areas and hiking trails that offer as many possibilities for activities.
The Saint-Pancrace chapel, the parish church of Notre-Dame-de-Consolation and the Tower, a vestige of the old castle, are all testimonies of the local history.
