Back to chez Arran site
A few great ideas for trips in the Chez Arran area from Lu, Ben, Sophie & Olivia
October 2015

Thanks for the key to Apartment Sommet.
It was a great week with top temperatures, we tried to ignore the pool!

Our girls loved the cats and trampoline; we had fun on everything else!

We managed to get lost coming off Clot de la Carbonniere (!) with rifle men shooting at pigs, 'wowed' at Plateau de Beille, Ben cycled up to Col de Pailheres from Ax (+ some other cols) one day, subterranean boat trip at Labouiche on the wet day, Foret des Sons (Orlu), Etang de Comte (well nearly - got too late but we got a mini dip in L'Estagnol) and managed to get up Pic de Tarbesou from Col de Pailheres on our last day.
Phenomenal views and totally inspired by the mountain huts we found.

Thanks for the hints and tips beforehand.
The wetsuits didn't get into the river but were invaluable for trampolling in the midweek down pour!



Great to see an Accelerate bag in your garden; my mate Debs in Attercliffe was chuffed to see a photo of it so far from home.

Thanks again - we'll try to spread the word of your secret hidden paradise.

Lu, Ben, Sophie & Olivia x
