Bedrooms

Each bedroom is named after famous mountain climbs in the Pyrenees, providing a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for all who stay.

ASPIN

Located on the first floor with a double bed and en-suite shower room, wash basin and toilet. Offers views of the garden below and surrounding countryside and has a small private hallway offering additional privacy. Where required, this room can cater for a third person and/or baby by providing an extra single bed and cot. The Col d'Aspin (1489m)is amongst the most famous of the Pyreneen climbs. There are often cows at the top of the Col d'Aspin. The road up from Ste. Marie de Campan starts gently, then climbs with frequent hairpin bends through a forest noted for abundant cepes in Autumn.

MENTE

Located on the first floor with a double bed and en-suite shower room, wash basin and toilet. View of the surrounding garden and countryside from the private balcony. The Col de Mente (1349m) was first used in the Tour de France in 1966 and has featured 14 times up until and including the 2007 tour. Starting from St Beat and passing by the ski resort of Le Mourtis, it connects the Ger and Garonne valleys.

TOURMALET/PEYRESOURDE

The Col de Peyresourde (1569m) is a Tour de France favourite and popular with club cyclists. It first featured in the Tour in 1910 and was selected for the 2007 L'Etape de Tour where amateur and club cyclists complete a full stage of the Tour. On the way up from Luchon, there is a fantastic view of Lac Louron below.

The Col du Tourmalet (2115m) is one of the most famous of the mountain climbs on the Tour de France and has been included more than any other pass in the Tour. Up until 2007, the tour has crossed the summit 47 times! White winged Snowfinches nest in the ski towers at the Col and Tourmalet is also the name of a cheese made from sheep's milk produced in the mountains.

Single beds are provided in Tourmalet/Peyresourde sleeping between 1 and 4 people and therefore ideal for a family or group of friends although we do accept single bookings in the quieter periods or when the other bedrooms are fully booked. There is a shower room and wash basin across the hallway and a separate toilet for guests.

Our first floor bedrooms have tiled floors so for your comfort we recommend that guests bring along a pair of slippers or leisure shoes.

BALES

Situated on the ground floor, this double room shares a beautiful new shower room with wash basin and separate toilet with PORTILLON. The window looks out on to the garden and surrounding countryside. The Port de Bales (1755m) is a new climb for the Tour and one of the toughest climbs of the stage, said to rival the Col du Tourmalet! This new road goes over the Barousse forest and is said to have transformed the 2007 Etape into an extreme challenge.

PORTILLON

Situated on the ground floor, this twin room shares a beautiful new shower room with wash basin and separate toilet with BALES. The window looks out on to the garden and surrounding countryside. The Col de Portillon (1293m) climb starts almost immediately at Bagneres de Luchon. Densely wooded on both sides it crosses from France to Spain at the top with no border formalities. Dropping down into the small town of Bossost in Spain in the Val d'Aran

BALES AND PORTILLON

Form a private ground floor suite, ideal for a family of four or group of four friends offering privacy as they are separate to the other guest rooms in the house which are located on the first floor. The rooms are both also ideal for guests with limited mobility as there are no stairs making access much easier.
