Privileged location in the Eastern Pyrénées
|
|
|
The Orri is located at an altitude of 1,550 m in the tiny mountain village of Planès. Famous for it's 11th century Romanesque chapel, the village has a station on the Yellow Train line and lies just 5 km from the fortified town of Mont Louis.
The natural setting is spectacular. In Summer, it's a paradise for walkers: two long distance hiking trails (the GR10 and the GR36) pass next to the lodge's property and you can access the Saint Thomas hot springs, the Têt river gorge trail, the Planès valley, the Cambre d'Ase peak, and even the Nuria Sanctuary (across the border, in Spain) on foot from our doorstep.
|
|
By car, the Bouillouses lakes, the Eyne valley and the Carança gorges are just a few minutes away.
In Winter, it's a paradise for skiers: the Cambre d'Aze downhill resort is just 2 km from the lodge, the Font Romeu and Les Angles alpine resorts and the La Llose and la Calma cross country resorts are all less than 15 km away.

Delicious meals,

|

International
atmosphere,
forum of exchange
|
|
|
Created and run by an American man and a Catalan woman who both speak French, English, Catalan and Spanish, the Orri is a lodge centered on people and open to guests from all over the world.
|
|
Our cozy public spaces and the dining room's long oak tables invite our guests to share experiences and ideas, transforming the lodge into a forum of exchange between people and cultures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As outdoor lovers, we wanted to create and run a rural inn that functions in harmony with nature. We work very hard to reduce the Orri's environmental impact at all levels (energy, water, food, waste, housekeeping, economy, banking...).
|
|
And as former teachers, we try to make people think.
We firmly believe that ecology is about living better with less, and try to use our lodge to demonstrate that this is possible.
