RamblingThe Pyrenees is a great place for ramblers of all levels, marked by the famous GR10 and GR11 running from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. We have a great number of stunning walks to offer you; take a prepared pack lunch for that full day out. |

RunningYour host John Boyes and his wife Kathryn are both keen club runners and compete regularly in local events. They can advise you of many routes from the house and further afield in the mountains and forests. Special training weeks can be arranged including training sessions at 5,000 feet plus from the ski station at Nistos (20 miles from the house). There are races most weekends, on the road and mountain trails. For the adventurous there are snowshoe races in Winter. |

Cycling Bring your bicycle and cycle from the house over many over famous
Tour de France climbs conquered by Lance Armstrong. From our house
people have cycled the Col D’Aspin, Col de Tourmalet, cycled
into Spain (22k) and climbed the Col de Portillon. Slightly further
are the Col d’Aubisque and Marie Blanc. Pick-ups can be arranged
for one way rides. |

Winter SportsThe ski resorts of St Lary, La Mongie, Bagnere de Luchon and Peyragudes are all within and hour of the house for Alpine skiing, and Nistos is 20 miles away (you can see it from the garden) for cross country and snowshoeing. Other activities include dog sledding and snowmobiling. Relax afterwards in one of the many spas. |
