Helios Appartments
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
Our stay in the Helios Appartments at Bareges was delightful. The acdcommodation was clean and just as described with two adequate sized bedrooms, and bathroom upstairs, a lounge/diner, kitchen and toilet downstairs. The appartment was close the the centre of the small town of Bareges which has a mix of shops, Hotels, bars, and restaurants and a supermarket, cinema, swimming pool and thermal baths.
In summer there are local walks from the town cen tre, but for more adventurous walks a car is a must. There are many truly spectacular walks within 45 minutes drive and only an hour away is the famous Cirque de Gavarnie, a spectacular semi-circle of towering snow capped mountain peaks.
In summer the weather is around a warm 25oC for most of the time, occassionally the mist descends for the day as the resort is at 1000m.
Cyclists pass through the towm all day every day to attempt to reach the top of the Col de Tourmalet, one of the most grueling climbs in the Tour de France.
