The Perfect Wooden Cabin Getaway in the Pyrenées
Hello adventurers! We’re guessing that by now you guys know how much we love talking about our island. However, we must confess that sometimes we miss certain things from other seasons like fall or winter. That’s why today’s adventure will be about exploring the magic of a wooden cabin getaway in the Pyrenées.
If you’re part of our Instagram community, you might know that last year we visited the charming region of Val d’Aran. Situated in the Catalan Pyrenées, this valley is a picturesque corner perfect for nature lovers. We spent the coziest 4 days at a mountain resort completely surrounded by the forest. What a dream!
With a total area of 620 km2, the valley offers plenty of interesting activities, no matter what season you come. On one side, during the cold months (December to March), you can enjoy winter sports, comforting meals and snow-capped mountains. On the other side, during the summer season (June to August) it’s an ideal place for outdoor activities and nature exploration.
Vielha, the capital of Val d’Aran, is a charming town located along the Garonne River. What makes it special is its cobblestone streets, historic architecture and the breathtaking background of snowed peaks.
Not too far from Vielha, you will find Verneda, a mountain resort hidden in the lush forest.
Well, you might be wondering, but what is so special about Verneda? Well, we can tell you it’s the serenity and beauty of being right in the heart of the Pyrenées! It’s hard to describe, but the peace and stillness of the mountains is something you must experience at least once in your life. Besides, Verneda is strategically located in Pont d’Arròs, promising an unforgettable getaway for nature lovers with all the comfort of being close to the capital of the valley.
So keep reading to discover some aspects that we really appreciated about our stay!
Strategic location
Verneda Mountain Resort occupies a privileged location in Pont d’Arròs. Imagine a space surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, a river and even a small waterfall! This corner of the Catalan Pyrenées offers visitors a peaceful escape and a breath of fresh air. And the best thing is that it’s only 6 km away from Vielha. That means in less than 10 minutes you can access a wider range of restaurants, cafés, shops, supermarkets, etc.
Nature immersion
The resort is immersed in an environment of indescribable beauty. Lush forests and crystal-clear rivers create an idyllic landscape, inviting you to explore and connect with the essence of the region. Hiking lovers, bird watchers and overall nature enthusiasts will find in Verneda a true paradise. We especially loved morning walks by the river, listening to the sounds of nature and feeling the light snow crunching under our boots.
Comfortable cabins in harmony with nature
Just for a moment, imagine waking up to the crisp air of the mountain and stepping out onto your private terrace to enjoy the smells & sounds of a new day. Then preparing a warm chocolate (or coffee, tea… you name it) and drinking it slowly while contemplating the views from the inside of your wooden cabin. For us, this was a dream come true!
Something we loved about Verneda’s wooden cabins is the fact that they seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. Moreover, they’re fully equipped with all modern amenities, thus offering a luxury camping experience. Most of them include a living / dining room with a sofa, a completely furnished kitchen, a double bedroom, a room with bunk beds, a full bathroom with a shower and an equipped terrace. So for travelers who seek comfort, there’s no need to worry.
Diverse price range for all budgets
The resort offers a diverse price range to suit all needs and preferences. From the most basic cabins at around 70€/night (2 p.) to the most luxurious ones at around 150€/night, there are options for every budget.
If cabins are not your thing, you can always camp under the stars in your own tent or camper van. Their versatility makes it an accessible destination for all types of travelers.
Excellent service and personalized attention
What truly surprised us from Verneda was its commitment to providing exceptional service. The dedicated staff goes above and beyond to ensure that guests have a seamless and enjoyable experience. From offering detailed information about the resort’s facilities to making sure your stay is comfortable, their team creates a welcoming and caring atmosphere to make you feel at home. We really appreciated their attention!
Additional experiences
No wooden cabin getaway would be complete without experiencing (at least some) typical things from the region. Good news is that Verneda offers a variety of activities and experiences, such as horseback rides, river walks, mountain biking or guided treks. As you can see, the resort is designed to satisfy the adventurous desires of its guests.
The opportunity to participate in local cultural activities makes it an even more immersive experience. And if you want to go even further, you can organize your own village tours and try regional products like this delicious cheese or spend a day at a ski resort.
