Ibex and other horned animals

Gwénaëlle Plet is the owner of the rural gite " Les Terres Nères " in Aucun (Hautes-Pyrénées) since 2000 and she is also a mountain guide since 2021, invested in the Mountain Office of the Azun Valley.

Located at the end of a small road, my gite is installed on a park of one hectare, on the edge of the mountain and the forest. The valley has kept its authenticity, with a marked pastoral activity around the manufacture of cheese and a harmony in the traditional building which gives a pleasant unity to the look.

National park spirit, i have been there since the beginning. Previously, in order to follow my convictions, I was classified as a "Panda" gîte and an LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) refuge, and when the initiative National Park Spirit initiative came along, I thought it was only natural that I should be part of it, that I should be part of the adventure. For my second activity as a mountain guide, the path was marked out towards National Park Spirit.

We are also part of a network where synergies can be created.

For example, I didn't know the new owners of theAuberge du Pic de Pan, which is located 10 minutes by car and an hour and a half by foot from the gîte. We met following a carpooling proposal to go to a training course National park spirit ! While discussing, we said to ourselves why not work together as we are both beneficiaries of the National Park Spirit ?

With my clients at the gîte, I suggested that we leave in the early afternoon, to go up to the Bordères pass by a small path and then have dinner at the inn before watching the sunset at the Prédouset peak, a magnificent spot, and coming back down at night under the sky.

So we created this service and it gave me other ideas. On my website, there is a new section called "good plans" where you can find this outing and others like a good plan "eco-poetic" in connection with a festival in Val d'Azun or a good plan "Nordic" with the Nordic bath installed at the gite.
