Grange de Marterat

La Grange de Marterat is situated in the heart of the mountains, with a breathtaking view over the peaceful Ossèse valley in the Ustou valley. It is at the start of a number of hiking trails, making it an ideal base for exploring the Couserans mountains!

The barn is located at the start of the hiking trail that leads to the Port du Marterat and then to Spain or the Lastien waterfall, and is close to the Cagateille cirque.
The Ossèse valley was once a village of barns, or bourdaou as they say in the Couserans. The barns have been restored in the same way as small dwellings, in a warm and simple way.
Solar panels provide the necessary electrical energy and spring water is collected (so bring bottled water for drinking).
Michael your host is a member of the Association les Accompagnateurs en montagne du Couserans.
If you wish, you can take part in one or more guided hikes during your stay. You'll discover the wildlife that inhabits these mountains, including isards, the recently reintroduced Iberian ibex, large birds of prey, deer and, of course, the brown bears.
The aim is both to help you discover the mountain environment, with a wide range of books available on a self-service basis, and to allow you to spend some quiet time with friends or family. Board games and films (bring a laptop if you have one for viewing) are also available.
Conditions of access: in winter, the last 1.2 km are not cleared of snow (no vehicles are allowed, even 4WD). In this case, hire is for people for whom this is not a constraint but a pleasure. It's a bit more sporty (return journey on foot or snowshoes with rucksacks to bring your things).
In winter, remember to have your mobile phones charged when you arrive. When the two barns are occupied, it can be a lot to recharge and you have to be careful with electricity (solar panels)... External batteries that can charge your phones several times are recommended.

Additional Info:
During the summer school holidays: minimum week from Saturday to Saturday.
The rest of the time: any combination possible, minimum 3 days, regardless of the day of arrival.
Arrival time: before 4.30pm
