About the host
Hosted by William and Elinor Morton
We are farmers from Warwickshire who have developed a deep love for the French Pyrenees and everything that it offers. We first visited Bareges in 1980, when we skied for the first time. We came back 22 years later with our two sons and knew that this was where we wanted to ski as a family.
Why they chose this property
The chalet came on the market and we could see its potential. Over the years that we have had it we have worked hard to maintain a relaxed family feel to it where we love to come and bring our friends. We consider it our home, and hope our guests feel just as happy as we do when we are there. We have kept it deliberately traditionally Pyrenean in feel, with a well equipped kitchen and a huge dining table for fabulous nights eating and socialising
What makes this property unique
Sleeps 16, with off road parking for 3-4 cars. the chalet has an open fire with wood provided for your stay. The central heating keeps the place very warm and there is plenty of hot water always available if you fancy a long soak in the bath!
