What a special experience! We stayed at Tipis Idiens (aka Indian Teepees) for two nights while hiking the Cirque de Gavarnie and exploring the area. Francis, the owner, was so nice and considerate! We had two tents – one for sleeping and one which served as private a kitchenette and living room, and we also had a private bathroom and shower. Everything was very clean, the beds were heated, and the kitchenette fully equipped with everything we could possibly need.
Our family of three (2 adults and an almost 8 year old girl) stayed here for a night and we're now wishing we stayed longer. We had driven in from Spain and only managed to check in quite late, so didn't have as much time in the tipi. The tipi had everything needed though, including a very comfortable bed. Weather was also a bit uncooperative as clouds blocked Gavarnie throughout our stay. But Francis was a great host, and very accommodating.
We booked this on a whim, just before we left for a month-long trip in Europe. We felt that we could not pass that close to the Pyrenees without visiting. We are so glad we did! The moment we started winding up the mountains our jaws dropped, and when we finally made it to the tipis, our only regret was that we had only booked one night. It was our best night’s sleep in Europe.... the temperature in late-July was perfect for sleeping and the beds were so comfortable.
