Outside the stone walls of this chalet-style retreat, it’s all ski runs, winter sports and mountain hikes. Inside, the clean, white minimalism and wood accents offer a Scandi sense of calm. Light the candles on the dining table for a bit of hygge glow and rustle up some mountain fare in the perfectly formed kitchen. A crackling fire in the living room will keep chilly toes warm in the evening and, by day, you’ll find a panoramic view of the Garonne river and frosted Pyrenees peaks from the wide windows. Situated on a hilltop overlooking the town of Vielha, you’ve got the perfect bolthole for all-year outdoor adventure; skiing, horse riding, and hiking in the forested climbs of northern Catalonia. Spaniards, including the royal family, choose the region for its excellent skiing, particularly at Baqueira Beret, a short drive from Vielha. If après ski appeals you’ll be well-catered for, both at the resort and back in Vielha, where a lively dining scene spans the region’s traditional gastronomy and late-night tapas bars abound.
