The village of Aas - summer and winter

In the winter, the ski resort of Gourette is only 10 minutes drive away, with the possibility of reaching four other resorts (including Formigal in Spain ) in less than an hour.

The area is also well-known for its magnificent trout fishing rivers.

The house in winter

The house itself is a converted shepherd's grange, and was for 16 years a gite d'etape (hostel) , and appears in many guide books as the Auberge de Chemin de Pleysse. It is located at the exit to the small village, in a quiet area where the only noise to be heard in the morning is the birdsong, and occasionally the passing of the local shepherds with their flocks of sheep or herds of cattle.
