Directions:
Note: Google Maps may send you a different route to the following directions. Please ignore them, as you may end up on a road that doesn't exist!
We are located 15 minutes from Bagnères-de-Bigorre. If you are coming from this direction, exit Bagnères towards Col du Tourmalet/La Mongie. On your way, you will pass through a small village called Campan.
Continue for about five more minutes from here, and you will see a hotel on your right called Hôtel le Chalet (pay attention to the large signs).
Just IMMEDIATELY after this hotel is a small road called Chemin d'Escarret; you will see our white sign for "Les Granges des Hautes-Pyrénées" at this intersection.
Turn onto this road and follow it for about 100m, where it rises slowly and turns to the left. Be aware that it is a bit narrow in places. After a total distance of approximately 300m, you will see another white sign for "Les Granges des Hautes-Pyrénées" and a long driveway that crosses a field. Follow this.
As you enter the property, you will cross a small stream. Please park in the spaces directly in front of the stream.
We will meet you here.

Natasha and Kev warmly welcome you to their cottages.
Having lived worldwide, they moved from the city to the mountains, starting in Chamonix, the French Alps.
Then after having visited the Pyrénées, they fell in love with this area - its remoteness and endless possibilities for adventure!
They now enjoy hosting guests in their cottages and running guided day trips and multi-day adventure trips with their partner company, Shed to Summit.
