Combine Fitness with Adventure

Combine Fitness with the Adventure of Exploring Complete Wilderness...

Looking for a different Ski Holiday? Ski touring is wonderful combination of fitness and off piste skiing or snowboarding, allowing us to access some of the most beautiful and remote wilderness that the Pyrenean mountains have to offer.

There is no better way to escape the bustle of the resorts and completely submerge yourself into a mountain wilderness, with only the sound of your own breath to disturb your thoughts. For those seeking escape in the mountains, ski touring is a must.

With not a chairlift in sight you will soon realise the true meaning of complete wilderness, however you do as they say “have to earn your turns” so be prepared for a work-out!

Perfection in the Pyrenees

We enjoyed the perfect Pyrenees summer vacation at L'Ancienne Poste thanks to James' genuine hospitality, beautiful accommodations, delicious food, ever-flowing wine and Bode. The inn was an excellent home base for exploring mountain hikes and local villages.

Superb!!

Just amazing! Superb chalet with beautiful main room complete with roaring wood burner! Incredible hosts with superb food offering. James, the owner is the most hospitable and friendly guy you could wish to meet. Nothing is too much trouble and you will immediately feel at home.

Perfection

James and his team make you welcome from the outset. Great food and hospitality all round. From the immaculately cleaned wood-burner to the eagle-eyed team who can spot your glass needs a top up from 100 yards, you couldn't ask for more from your mountain break! I'll certainly be returning.

Holiday of a lifetime!

Our family had always dreamed of travelling from Australia to share a white Christmas and while we were confident we would have a lovely time in Avajan, none of us could have begun to imagine what a magical experience we would have staying with James at L'Ancienne Poste.
