The nature house, built on one of the hills, is located in Carla-Bayle, a small artists' village in Ariège. It offers complete tranquility. From the large sun terrace you can fully enjoy the magnificent view of the lake, the hills and even the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees. There is also a covered terrace. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two toilets. The kitchen is practically equipped. Within walking distance (400 meters) is a lake with a swimming area. Near the swimming area are two petanque courts, a multi-purpose sports field (soccer/basketball), two tennis courts, a beach volleyball court and there are playgrounds for small children and a ping-pong table. A chalet is also open where you can buy drinks and refreshments. A fitness trail (two kilometers) with equipment has been built around the lake. The Ariège lends itself to hiking, mountain biking, cycling tourism, mountain sports (climbing, via ferrata) and water sports (kayaking, canyoning). Ariège also has a rich history and culture. Pets are allowed but not in the sleeping area.

Nature and surroundings

With an average of 2,200 hours of sunshine per year, Midi-Pyrenées is among the sunniest regions in France. Temperatures above 25°C are observed for 60 to 80 days a year. This makes Midi-Pyrenees a great competitor to the Mediterranean coast. The area surrounding the nature house offers ample opportunities for sporting activities: hiking, cycling and mountain biking, horse/donkey rides, fishing, golf, kayaking, rafting and canyoning, climbing, via ferrata, paragliding and hiking with huskies. In winter also skiing, cross-country skiing and dog sledding. The ski resort of Ax with 80 kilometers of slopes is about 60 minutes away by car. A nearby cross-country skiing area is La Tour Lafont 20 minutes by car. Three different mountain bike routes pass through the village, varying in distance and difficulty. Five kilometers from the house is an altitude trail, sequoia vertigo, fun for young and old. A half-hour drive away are other beautiful lakes. The area is known for its rich history, including many Cathar castles (Foix and Montsegur). The beautiful and cozy Toulouse is 65 kilometers away.

    The location is ideal within walking distance of the artists' village of Carla Bayle and the lake. You can really enjoy the little things in this beautiful region. Beyond the beautiful nature, you can also quickly find your way to a good artisan bakery, the local biomarket and organic stores. You really are staying in a rural, authentic setting.

    It was our 2nd stay in the house and we liked it even better than last year! It is the ideal vacation home for us; very convenient kitchen, good spacious bathrooms and the wifi works perfectly. On the terrace or under the tree in the garden it was pleasant even at 30°, the view is breathtaking. We came here to relax completely.

    Perfectly located house, with beautiful views and close to the lake. The silence and the pure air made us completely relax. Yet the idyllic village of Carla Bayle is also within walking distance, where you have a small épicerie to buy a delicious sourdough bread. The house is very spacious and equipped with all confort. We were with 2 and our dog and already knew the area well. We enjoyed the sun in the loungers in the garden and ate our baguette on the covered terrace when it rained. We will definitely come back!

    Beautiful surroundings, views of pristine nature from the living room, terrace and garden.
