area ✧ unremarkable hamlet except for balance between nature and getting to two small towns
  ✧ Luchon is a small moderately touristic town due to its ski station and thermal spa; 30mins drive, 40mins bus; having good restos, market hall, and would be a very regular outing; even an organic fish farm and paragliding
  ✧ Montrejeau is quieter small town on a small hill at the bottom of the valley, with shops and holding a world music festival
  ✧ both have small golf courses and other facilities
  ✧ no other notable towns within reach, but lots of nice villages
  ✧ for occasional outings Tarbes is a good size town, and Bagneres smaller for variety are both 1h drive
3 bus lines, 2 at door, most frequent 10mins walk; station/shops/supermarket 15mins bike
✦ the hamlet does have a good resto also doing burgers and beer
✦ mainline station has last bus 6pm but at 25mins drive would not be an uncommon pickup
✦ local station is 10mins bike/scoot/30mins walk or a 5min pickup
✦ busses are 4/5 times daily running the full valley for day hikes and outings, however popping to Luchon is not great (dep 9, return 10:45 for 45mins, or dep at 13 and retun 16 for 2h); combined with a scoot/bike to the station it becomes workable as there's more trains
✦ local supermarkets are 15mins bike (albeit on road), 10mins bus (11:30 giving 1h30, 16:45 giving 1h)
✦ 9:30/11:50
✦ 5mins bike to an adevnture park with via ferrata
nice little hilltop village with abbey, restos, and organic bakery 15mins drive
✦ organic veg farm, plus big supermarkets inc organic 10mins drive
✦ good hikes from door reach peak
✦ climbing spots a short bike ride and tennis 15mins bike
✦ if own SUPs, several small lakes in 10–25mins
✦ the peaks nearby reach 1200–1700m for good serious multi-day hiking as there's lots of refuges, and the coast-to-coast GR10 route passes not far; kayaking and horse riding very close
✦ two ski stations 30mins drive; the larger has a gondola from town to 1700m and lifts reaching 2200m, and bikepark for summer mountain biking; the smaller reaches 1800m, for airboard, nordic ski, snowshoe walks, biking, mountain scooter, etc, has however not recently had enough snowfall to reliably remain open
✦ hikes for major peaks 40mins drive starting from 1200m climbing to lakes and 2500m+

climate has good stable number of sunny days all year but obviously colder with less greenery in winter, only one month would have any significant risk of snow due the low altitude; with winter still reaching 18° it would remain quite pleasant but would favour work-focus rather than outdoor activity
✦ the main detractor is simply that there's showers on half the days all year round but all still get sun — for those comparing to England: 4° warmer, heavier showers (almost twice as much), yet less than half the grey days with more sun
✦ the down season of Nov–Mar is fairly long though could have a premium for skiing and would remain pretty decent with good facilites such as conservatory, wood fires, sauna, an indoor yoga/activity space, etc
✦ the average cost for colivings in the region is €1000/month without optimal facilities thus no issue to improve upon, remaining competitive and differentiated bearing in mind that only about 30% of capacity would be for (public) rental
