Retreats & Events
Join us for one of our upcoming retreats or weekend getaways, which are ideal for solo travelers or a small group of friends.
Or, if you're a group organizer and looking for a destination that offers a range of activities but without all the tourists, the Vallée d'Ossau is ideal for hiking or cycling groups, photography clubs, wellbeing sessions, writing workshops and more. Château de Gère offers accommodation and meals and we'll help you plan your own adventure.
