Gîtes and Chalets of the Quié - Les Cabannes - Ariège Pyrenees
3 gîtes, 4 chalets, cap. 4, 6, et 12 pers. | MAP | CETTE PAGE EN FRANÇAIS
Nathalie and Laurent welcome you to their gîtes, located high in the Ariège river valley at the foot of the cross-country ski station at the Plate- de Beille (which often hosts the finish of a mountain stage of the Tour de France). Their friends and neighbors, Dominique and Philippe, raise a herd of Gascony cows using the traditional farming methods of the Pyrenees. In June the cows are led to the high mountain pastures ("estives") where they will graze until the first snowfall; they spend the winter months in the barn eating hay cut from the meadows in the valley. It is this choice of mountain life that your hosts like to recount and share with you..
In summer you can hike up to the estives to see the herd, learn about mountain ecology and have a copious picnic. When you arrive at the farm, you'll be welcomed in typical mountain style with an an aperitif and suggestions for recreation and cultural activities in the vicinity. Once a week you can enjoy an outdoor barbecue with the farm products. Those who love quality and authenticity will be able to taste grass-fed beef and duck that has been fed in the traditional manner.
In winter, you'll explore the transformed landscape, and visit the barn where the herd passes the winter. The largest cross-country ski station in the Pyrenees is just a few kilometres away from the village.
