The village of Barèges:
You will find Bareges both friendly and inexpensive; a pretty Pyrenean village nestled amongst dramatic mountain scenery. The village dates back to the 14th century when the spa waters were first discovered, it was during the 18th and 19th centuries that Bareges was to play its role in the golden era of spa resorts in France. Napoleon sent his wounded troops to Bareges to benefit from their remarkable curative properties, today the spa baths specialize in relaxation rather than gunshot wounds! We thoroughly recommend the Thermal Baths where you can pamper yourselves with Jacuzzis, saunas, thermal baths, a pool and massages after a day's skiing. Bareges in winter is not just a magnificent ski area... take a stroll to St Justin for superb views over the valley, try a local Pyrenean dish in front of a log fire at a local auberge, enjoy the relaxed and informal nightlife in any number of local bars and clubs, and experience the warm welcome to be found in the Pyrenees...
Ski:
From the forest runs of Bareges to the wide-open sunny pistes of La Mongie there is wonderful 120 kms of skiing and snowboarding for all abilities, and you can ski right back to the village. Add the excellent local nightlife, the local knowledge of a small specialist operator, a brilliant ski school and you have all the ingredients for great ski chalet holiday in France!
