Peaceful site in the Pyrenees, 15 minutes’ drive from Ax-les-Thermes
House of Wolves half an hour’s drive; Niaux cave 40 minutes
Swimming pool, pétanque, fishing, restaurant and food shop on site

The fir-covered Pyrenees provide the spectacular backdrop for Camping Ascou la Forge, in the south-western French department of Ariège. The family-friendly site sits at over 1,000 metres above sea level on the banks of La Lauze river, which provides refreshing coolness during the summer. The town of Ax-les-Thermes is 15 minutes’ drive (and several tight hairpin bends on the Route de l’Aude) away. The site is aimed as much to those seeking a peaceful break – lazing by the swimming pool, improving their pétanque game or perhaps indulging in a spot of trout fishing – as to active types, who can go on challenging hikes around the Étang Bleu area (20 minutes’ drive), where pretty alpine lakes sit in the shade of wooded mountains like Pic de Tarbésou. Climbers can usually find like-minded adventurers at the jagged Dent d’Orlu (25 minutes), while mountain-bikers might want to have a go at the Col du Pradel mountain pass (15 minutes). If all that activity has left your gear muddy or dusty, just throw it all in the washing machine and leave it in the drying room ready for the next day. There are also multiple shower and toilet blocks (including facilities for disabled guests), plus a washing-up area. In the evening, you might choose to sample the lively dining scene of Ax-les-Thermes; however, if you don’t want to deal with those hairpin bends after dark, there’s also a restaurant at the site, plus a food shop for those who want to get the barbecue going.

steven g. Sept 2023

Powered grass site

Liked: Very good walks, and easy access to lake from site. 10 metre Easy set pool, very nice in the hot weather. Toilets were good and clean. manager/owner was more than happy to help with anything. stunning mountain views.

Disliked: We were travelling in a big twin axle caravan, this could be an issue if not totally confident, the roads going up to the site were at times challenging some quite steep and hairpin bends but nothing too bad for our set up (4x4 pulling a twin axle). At the end of the day your stay is in the mountains. When we arrived the manager was surprised we had a twin axle but again we got it on site and managed to get on the pitch due to the fact we have motor movers. The manager was very critical of pitch up which i tend to agree with as they don't tell him who or what is coming all he gets is a booking sayyin two people for 7 nights. pitch up charged us 29euros for this. they also asked if any special requests, so we put 16amp electricity again this was not passed to the site. We have a nice pack sent to us with all the details on, why don't pitch up send the same pack to the site, just add in the size of the caravan/motor home.

Local attractions

Among the residents at the House of Wolves (half an hour’s drive) are Canadian, European and Arctic wolves, but there is also a petting zoo with pygmy goats, rabbits and guinea pigs. Other attractions include a glass tunnel taking you deep inside the pack and panning for gold in the Oriège river. The underground tunnels at the Niaux cave (40 minutes) are not illuminated, so you’ll be given a portable lamp at the start of the tour. Prepare to be impressed by the dozens of prehistoric wall paintings of bison and other animals in the Salon Noir, plus a series of red geometric signs the meaning of which continues to puzzle the experts. Check out the impressive ruins of the hilltop fortress of Château de Montségur (one hour), thought to date back to the 1600s. From here you can take in expansive views of the surrounding mountainous landscape, including the Massif de Tabe.
