The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

The chalet is situated 1500mtrs above sea level in the Pyrenees. It is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks of nearly 3000mtrs. The region has a good snow record and over 200 cannons in nearby Les Angles ensure a long ski season (1st week December to last week April). It is officially the sunniest region in France with over 3000 hours of sunshine a year.
There is a sense of local independence from France or Spain as this is Catalan country with its own traditions, language, cuisine and history. Many hill forts attest to its warlike past. Villfranche with its Fort Libraria ( thousand of steps inside the mountain) is typical. There are caves a plenty and lots of water based activities, fishing, swimming, cannoing, white water rafting, cannyoning, mountain biking etc the list is only limited by your imagination.
