- Ski & snowboardThere is great skiing at St Lary (30 minutes) the biggest ski area in the Pyrenees. I have skied here many times with friends and family and can highly recommend it. It is a popular resort and is just a short drive straight up the valley. We are about 45 minutes from the resorts of Piau Engaly, Peyregude and an hour from la Mongie. "Fantastic week, great skiing up at St Lary. We are definitely coming back next year. Stewart loved the kitchen and all the facilities and all the boys enjoyed the movies and the coffee machine. Difficult to put into words how good the hot-tub felt after a days skiing." - Steve 2014 "An excellent week thank you. Skiing every day with plenty of snow and Espiaube St Lary was definitely the place to go. House was just what we were looking for." - David 2010 "The best Christmas Ever!" We had the most amazing family Christmas in this wonderful farmhouse. The age group ranged from 80 to 8 and there was something for everyone. - Sam 2014

- GolfGolf at Lannemezan - 18 hole golf course is recognised as one of the best in the Midi Pyrénées. At 5808 metres in length and par 70, this course in no pushover! Set in 40 hectares, level terrain, all the fairways are lined with magnificent mature trees and from the southern end of the course there are stunning views of the Pyrenees. The course is open all the year and visitors are welcome. Attached to the Club House is the 'Pre Vert' restaurant with indoor and outdoor facilities for dining, snacks and drinks. The 'Pre Vert' is open throughout the year with a menu that covers everything from omelettes to regional specialities. It is a big favourite with the locals because of its cuisine and the delightful view from the terrace. South facing driving range: play from grass or mats (6 covered, 12 exterior). Putting green and grass bunker in front of the club house. There are also excellent golf courses in Tarbes and Bagneres - about a 30 minute drive.

Ask a questionAbout Graham Eves
I live between the UK and France with my partner and two daughters. I spend most of my year in France travelling back and forth every few months where I am lucky enough to have plenty to do and a wonderful place to stay and probably the best cycling on the planet.
Graham Eves purchased this Farmhouse in 1993
Why Graham Eves chose Escala
We have always loved France and especially the mountains. We spent 3 years looking all over the country and eventually settled on this area for the peace and quiet and easy access to some of the best walking, cycling and skiing in Europe. After looking at dozens of other properties we finally settled on this house in particular for its location and views.
What makes this Farmhouse unique
We have developed our holiday gite business over the last 12 years. We have also shared and continue to share some thoroughly relaxing and memorable holidays with our extended families and groups of friends at different times of the year. The skiing is amazing just up the road at St Lary and we have friends that have skied in the Alps for many years that now prefer to return here each winter. The same can be said for our cycling friends and cycle tour organisers that love the challenges of the Tour de France routes and enjoy exploring the quiet, scenic, traffic free lanes that characterise this whole area.
