Outside
There is a private sun terrace with beautiful views of the wooded foothills.
SKiing and winter golf are prime activities for this beatiful Pyrenean resort.
Golf
There is a spectacular golf course available for people who like to mix their sports. The 18-hole golf course looks on to Le Pic du Midi and is only 3km from my home. Many bright and sunny days in winter allow for games to be played.
Skiing
There are several ski resorts within easy driving distance. The nearest and the largest in the Pyrenees is La Mongie which is approx. 20km away and can be reached by car or by a bus service which runs to the resort and back. This resort is cheaper than the Alps and undiscovered by British tour operators. It is virtually undiscovered outside south west France, so take advantage of a chance to be a lone Brit in a beautiful ski resort where ski passes are still at a reasonable price!
La Mongie is situated in the Domaine du Tourmalet and has 69 pistes, 23 green, 19 blue, 21 red and 6 black. 43 ski lifts and a snow park. Off piste and cross country skiing are available with guides if required. There are many local hire shops for all your skiing needs - and I have an arrangement with one of these shops to give a 20% discount to all my guests.

Further details
You will be in the middle of this authentic French town and able to sample all of the local amenities including bars and fine restaurants within 3 to 5 minutes walk. A thermal spa and casino are also within walking distance of my house.
Bagnères can be enjoyed all the year round. In the spring, summer and autumn months you can walk, cycle or mountain bike through stunning countryside. The weather is gloriously warm and sunny and you can enjoy the atmosphere and people watch in many outside cafes in the town squares. Or spend a morning at one of the many local and regional food markets. Often there are warm sunny days in the winter months when there can be the added enjoyment of downhill skiing, cross country skiing and raquetting (snow shoe walking) There are many sports and leisure activities for the amateur through to the real enthusiast. La Mongie, the largest ski station in the Pyrenees, is only 25 kms/15.5 miles away and Bagneres offers a regular bus service to this little known but excellent ski resort. I speak French fluently and would be happy to help with any translation both spoken and written.
