Renovated, self catering gite at the foot of the Hautacam, in the heart of south-west France.
It is one of the largest regions in France and there is much to explore in the nearby area, including ancient towns, villages, castles and Romanesque churches.
This charming property is situated in the grounds of the resident English owner's property, and acts as the perfect retreat all year round - It is a haven for both cycling and skiing enthusiasts.

The accommodation sleeps 4-6 people, has an open plan ground floor, including a fully equipped kitchenette, sitting / dining area with a separate laundry room.
The first floor has two good sized bedrooms. Bedroom one has a king-size bed and an en -suite shower and WC. Bedroom two has two single beds but can accommodate a third and is served by a separate shower room and WC.
All rooms are heated by electric radiators. There is a small terrace with barbecue and garden furniture. Use of a shared garden with the owners and plenty of parking.

The Midi-Pyrenees enjoys temperatures of 15-35 degrees from April to October. September and October often enjoy an Indian summer climate conducive to walking and cycling, whilst profiting from the more peaceful low to mid season. With a good snow cover usually by the beginning of December we enjoy a ski season up until April.

The Valley des Gaves is one of the largest valleys running through the Parc National des Pyrenees and is still an unspoilt part of the world.
It is a gateway to many world renowned heritage sites such as Lourdes, Gavarnie, Pont d'Espagne and Pic du Midi de Bigorre - an observatory at 2,886m.

Local Attractions

The cycling - this area is a 'Mecca' for both road and mountain bike enthusiasts. Many of the famous climbs of the Tour de France, including Hautacam, Ardiden, Soulor, Aubisque and Tourmalet are within easy striking distance and there are up to 1150km covering 73 marked off-road routes for the mountain biker. If you find the mountains a bit fierce you can roll back out of the valley, beyond Lourdes, and enjoy the flatter countryside. We are happy to arrange bike hire or you can do this directly - two reputable and reliable companies - www.cycles-vtt-pyrenees.com (based in Lourdes - 10 mins from us) or www.wandeo.fr (based in Toulouse but happy to arrange delivery to site).

The walking - possibilities are endless - there is something for all levels of fitness. Explore this spectacular mountain area on well marked paths, which could take you on a nice gentle stroll or to the summit of the Vignemal at over 3,000 metres. Or for really serious mountain trekking there are expert guides.

The skiing - Great skiing for all levels. Hautacam is just 15 minutes drive. Cauterets, Luz-Ardiden and Grand Tourmalet all within 30 minutes drive and Gavarnie within 50 minutes drive.

Nearest golf course is an 18 hole course at Lourdes just 10 minutes away.
