L'ESCALETA, A FAMILY INN IN THE HEARTH OF ARIEGE'S PYRENEES
L’Escaleta is a hostel built in the middle of the XIXe century, in the center of the lovely village of Seix, in Ariege. It knew many names but we chose this one in reference to our beautiful and steep Couserans mountains! Indeed, Escaleta means “steep climb” in Occitan language.
Every day, as a family, we infuse our ideas into this place to welcome you in the most friendly and pleasant setting possible!
Located at the foot of the mountains, close to all the services
The inn is ideally located in the center of the village, where you’ll find grocery stores, a bakery, a wine cellar, a pharmacy…
Whether you wish to wander through the alleys, conquer the highest peaks of Couserans, observe the bearded vulture, or challenge the mythical mountain passes by bike, Seix is a strategic location for your next adventures! At the crossroads of several valleys, the playground offers a multitude of possibilities!
