 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm off to Bareges for a few nights next week and wondering where to eat and drink, whether to hire skis in Bareges or la Mongie and if anyone has some tips on where to eat on the mountain. Hopefully the forecast snow will mean they'll be opening up more runs - its looking a little limited right now.

In case it is useful to anyone else in the area this is what I would suggest:
I would hire skis from Sport2000 in Bareges, say you are staying with us at Mountainbug, chalet les Cailloux, and they will apply our discount for you  , you will need to do this in person at the shop though and not through the website (as they pay a commission to the national site for sport 2000 and ski set, which is what they would be taking off the price for you).
To eat I like the Laquette above Bareges for a good level of self service style food and great lounging/bar potential (also great prices), then the Etape du Berger up near the Col du Tourmalet (top of the 4 man Bearnais chair), order roast lamb for the next day for the real deal (all home raised/cooked). Louisettes is also great, just passed La Laquette restaurant down towards the forest runs where they do the dog sledging, it is a very pretty spot and traditional auberge with all the local specialities (not to be missed). In La Mongie opposite the lift pass office is an arc of about 10 restaurants, none are bad and they compete on prices, my current favourite is " La Schuss". I wouldn't bother eating at the Pic du Midi as it is not worth the extra spend, but definately get up there for a drink and a look at the view even if you are not up for jumping off it (which is awesome if you like that sort of thing).

25+++++ for the etape du berger - super - best place I have been to for years - like the ferme du pistes used to be in PdeS before it became uber expensive.
Lovely area - and a few nights are just about right to explore the area.
