Peak Performance: Catalonia

Gather up your favourite people for an alpine getaway in the Catalan Pyrenees. This home in Salardú is a great base camp for all your adventures – whether you're planning to hike, ski, or cycle, you're sure to have a great time here.

The traditional wood and stone exterior gives way to a cosy living space with plenty of charm. Light up the fire and flop down on the sofa for a toasty night in as you rest your tired legs. The kitchen is well-equipped for hungry guests who need to refuel after spending a day in the great outdoors. And, you'll even have your own garden – head outside with a glass of wine and breathe in the fresh mountain air as you admire the rugged views.

The Baqueira Beret ski lifts are just a quick drive away, and there are slopes to suit every ability level. If you're visiting during the warmer months, then you can join one of the trails through the Val d'Aran, taking in the epic vistas as you go. And, when you need to let your hair down and enjoy some aprés-ski entertainment, there are plenty of restaurants and tapas bars to be found in Salardú and the neighbouring towns.

Home truths:
* There is a storage space where you can keep your skis
