About this campspace
Atypical campsite in an isolated barn in the heart of nature, in the Val d'Azun (Hautes-Pyrénées), altitude 950 m.
Superb views of the peaks, magnificent setting, guaranteed isolation and peace and quiet.
The barn is located in a grazing area outside the village.
Water (tap outside), dry toilets, camping equipment on loan.
No electricity (a 28W charger is available), portable solar showers.
Accessible via 1km driveway + approx. 500m on foot (+60m ascent) grazing area (among herds of cattle and sheep).
Please note: minimum booking of 5 nights.
Please examine the advert and photos carefully before booking and/or asking any questions!
Contact me for winter stays (October/April) or long stays (possible under certain conditions).
You won't have much in the way of comforts, but you will have a magnificent, unobstructed view of more than 180° of the Hautacam, the Pic du Midi de Bigorre and the Pic d'Arrens, the Lac d'Arcizans-Avant, the Cabaliros massif, the Soum de Laya, the Pic de Peyre and the Col de Liar (accessible from the barn).
The barn, served by tracks, is located on a 1300 m² plot of land, mostly on a slope, surrounded by meadows and forests. Camping is in the barn. Stone walls, nail slate roof, two windows (no glass or shutters) + 1 large door on the east front + 1 door on the south side.
Very good exposure, plenty of sunshine (the Val d'Azun is the valley of light).
The barn is isolated, quiet (and only accessible on foot for the last 500m), but only 1.5 km from the village. Your neighbors will be the sheep (sometimes cows), whose bells you'll hear, and the birds of prey that soar over the valley, whose meows and cries you'll hear... you'll also hear the murmur of the nearby torrent.
The activities
Numerous hiking trails, with a hiking trail (le tour du Val d'Azun) just below and above the barn, itself connected to the many GR trails that criss-cross the Pyrenees. You'll be close to the hiking trails, but not on the busy stretches. Hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, cross-country and cross-country skiing (nearby: Col de Couraduque, Soulor, Aubisque, Lac du Tech, Lac d'Estaing).
Val d'Azun Nordic area 10km away + Hautacam ski and leisure resort 25km away.
Canoeing at the Agos - Vidalos leisure center (12/13km).
But culture is not absent: nearby, in Arras-en-Lavedan (5km), you'll find a very nice bookshop, the Kairn, with of course many books on the "pays", hiking etc., and maps, but also literature. The bookshop also serves coffee and snacks (delicious soups) and offers writing workshops all year round. In the same village, you'll also find art and cultural events, an art trail, exhibitions, yoga and relaxation classes.
Other things
Minimum booking of 5 nights. The price is the same whether you are 1 or 6, because I don't rent to several groups: you'll be alone in the non-renovated part. The price also includes the numerous items on loan, and is justified by the exceptional setting.
If you come across a herd of cows on the way up, it's best to go around them. When you're away, close the barn doors so that the sheep and cows can get in and make themselves at home... Generally speaking, close all gates and fences.
The barn is not locked.

Hello, I don't travel much, but I walk around where I live: a house on the Ardèche plateau (1300 m altitude) and a fairground barn in the Hautes-Pyrénées (1000 m altitude).
The rest of the time, I read...
