About this property

Spacious French Chalet: Ski Area, Le Tour, Summer Activities, Picturesque

Chalet Hay is a beautiful chalet set in a quarter of an acre of south facing garden, secluded yet not isolated. Chalet Hay is a traditional style French mountain grange, over 400 years old and lovingly restored to a superb mountain retreat with truly wonderful views.

It is perfectly located for all mountain holidays whatever the season.In the spring, summer and autumn the area is famous for fantastic walking and cycling, the pinnacle of which sees the Tour de France pass by the Chalet in July.

Every mountain activity is available including canyoning, walking, golf, cycling, mountain biking, fishing, horse riding, rafting and paragliding. Families are well catered for, we ourselves having 3 children and many activities are child friendly.

The Chalet is extremely spacious and the garden secure with a gate.

In winter it is only 10 minutes drive from the largest ski area in the French Pyrenees, the Tourmalet

You will have a truly fantastic holiday, we always do!

Idéal pour les randonnées d’été
Les charmes de l’ancien avec le confort moderne. Une maison bien adaptée pour six. Le jardin offre un complément d’espace agréable. Les petites attentions appréciées (présence de bois et de charbon de bois, bouteille de vin d’accueil). Le chalet est idéalement positionné pour des randonnées de différentes difficultés dans un rayon de 20 mn.

Chalet très agréable
La chalet est bien situé, isolé mais pas trop et à 15/20mn des supermarchés. On peut faire des randonnées directement depuis le chalet. Le cadeau de bienvenue est un petit plus très agréable. Le chalet est spacieux, la literie excellente et les lits faits à notre arrivée. Il est bien équipé avec un joli terrain propice aux jeux. Si on a un problème ou une question, Nadine est disponible et très gentille. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Maison au confort rustique et simple
Le "chalet Hay" est une maison de pierre multi-centenaire au confort rustique et simple. Elle est tout prêt du torrent, assez bruyant l'été : tout le monde n'a pas pu dormir fenêtres ouvertes. Les jours où il a fait beau et chaud, c'était agréable car nous mangions/vivions dehors. Quand il a plu et fait plus frais, c'était plus compliqué, notamment pour remettre le courant en marche après un orage, malgré le mode d'emploi en anglais : pas si évident de trouver le disjoncteur sur un poteau électrique externe :-) A part cela, accès direct à une région formidable.

Une ancienne bergerie dans une très belle vallée à 10 mn de La Mongie
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour avec neige et soleil. Le chalet est spacieux et les enfants ont pu profiter du jardin après le ski. Tout est simple et fonctionnel, code pour les clés, chauffage, bois pour la cheminée et en plus le linge fourni. Un seul bémol, pas de toilette à l'étage et une seule salle d'eau pour 8 personnes mais on s'organise très bien et nous n'avons jamais eu de problème d'eau chaude. On est prêt à revenir. Merci à Lisa pour nos échanges mail et son amie sur place. Sylvie

Très beau séjour
Nous avons été surpris par le charme du chalet, les photos du site ne représentent pas tout à fait l'esthétisme et l'espace que nous pensions restreint. Nous avons donc passé un très bon moment dans ce chalet chaleureux. Petite remarque si l'on est à plusieurs familles, il n'y a qu'une salle d'eau et qu'un seul wc. Le chalet n'est pas du tout loin des pistes ce qui est très appréciable. Le jardin est très agréable aussi. Merci

Great for exploring the surrounding country in summer
The property was accurately described and clean, and its setting was even prettier that the photos on the Internet. I would recommend this property to friends and family. Chloe was very kind and helpful when we had queries. I can recommend the Auberge Lou Fabeclo at Beaudéan and the Céperie in Arreau for good, authentic French cuisine. In general, we has lunch out and breakfast and dinner at home. The lake at Payolle is worth a visit and the road continues over a pass with spectacular scenery. The same can be said for the road though La Mongie to the Cirque de Gavernie. There are many bicyclists on the roads in this area - it's a popular route for the Tour de France. Since guests arrive on Saturday after 3 pm, you should be aware that the local supermarkets (Intermarché, Lidl and Carrefour) are open until 8 pm, but are closed on Sunday.

A great place to stay for skiing at La Mongie.
All eight of us enjoyed a fantastic four night stay. It was lovely to "come home" to a log fire and such a comfortable, cosy well equipped chalet after enjoying a good days skiing. We will definitely be staying again.

Fantastic in summer!
We had a wonderful week in this spacious, comfortable and very well-equipped house. The area has so much to offer in summer - gorgeous scenery - little towns - mountain walks - the chance to speak a bit of French - and no crowds. Our children loved it too. We would recommend Chalet Hay without hesitation!

Chalet Hay is in a superb location - 10 minutes from La Mongie, Grand Tourmalet. The Chalet is perfect: spacious, extremely comfortable, always clean, great styling and a log fire. We've stayed three times and can't wait to return.

Wow lovely...!!!
We stayed at Chalet Hay for our first skiing holiday and wow what a holiday it was. The Chalet is perfectly situated at the foot of the ski resort and is so beautiful. The Chalet its self was very very clean and extremely comfortable, we absolutely loved getting "home" to get the fire going. The Chalet is very well stocked, we had plenty of towels and we found everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. We are even considering a summer break as it is so beautiful.

Brilliant
I have rented this lovely Chalet twice, once with family & once as a cosy get away for two & it was perfect for both occasions. The Chalet is in a lovely location, peaceful, beautiful countryside &yet there are plenty of things to do nearby from skiing, local spa town & plenty of local markets with fresh food & some great walks too. The Chalet itself is magical, with a secluded garden so the kids run around and a lovely open plan living/kitchen we had a great time in winter with a roaring fire sitting around the dining table. Everything is to hand and very comfortable and the rooms were all a good size, it is well maintained and clean, booking was easy and confirmed very quickly - great service from booking to arrival. This really is a great place to get away too and its so comfortable you can do as much or as little as you want here. Will definitely return again and again.

About the host

Hosted by Tristan Hay; Lisa Hay

Host profile image
We are Tristan and Lisa. We love the mountains and after several years of looking and numerous ski and summer holidays we brought our dream chalet in 2007.

The area has all the winter and summer mountain sports and a traditional feel that we have not found elsewhere. After several working holidays to get the Chalet just how we want it, we now use the Chalet to relax and for great mountain activities with our three children.

We have lovely guests who really appreciate the space inside and out, being close to the ski resort, being on the Tour de France route and being close to soo many activities.

We hope you enjoy Chalet Hay as much as we do. Lisa and Tristan x

Why they chose this property

We visit the Chalet as many times of the year as possible and find it the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. It is also a great place for us to take our family and friends!

Perfect with children, there is an upstairs snug area with a tv and xbox and the garden will keep them entertained for hours on end!

What makes this property unique

Our favourite activities include, reading a book in the garden on sunny days, eating in the garden and in local restaurants with some delicious red wine.

Taking a night stroll under a million stars (no light pollution here!), standing on top of the quatre therms ski lift with the Pic du midi in front and 4km of sweeping blue runs ahead.

A typical winter day for us would be a family breakfast around the large dining table, heading up the mountain for a cheeky hot chocolate before the children head to ski school with our favourite english-speaking instructor Muriel, delicious lunch in La Schuss, a fun afternoon skiing with the kids and maybe a a few of us adults would meet up and head over to Laquette for the long tree lined runs and an afternoon beer. After the pistes close meet friends and enjoy some drinks in one of the restaurants and then participate in an evening activity such as husky dogs (brilliant), a ride in a piste basher, sledging or some night skiing. Or maybe a trip to the huge luxurious spa with the jacuzzis on the roof! Fab, fun filled days with family and friends!

Bliss!!
