GRAND TOURMALET - PORTE DE BARÈGES
The Grand Tourmalet domain has the particularity of being composed of the two sides of the pass: on the east side, La Mongie and on the west side Barèges. In its heart, the majestic Pic du Midi. These three areas form the largest ski area in the Pyrenees. It includes more than 100 skiable kilometers divided into 62 slopes, 28 ski lifts and more than 300 snow cannons, to ensure optimal snow coverage throughout the season. In addition to alpine and nordic skiing, there are many other activities: ski touring, snowshoeing, grooming, dog sledding, paragliding... The Lienz plateau, just above the village of Barèges, offers a beautiful Nordic area of 18 kilometers including a magical part in the forest, under the snowy fir trees. It is also here that magnificent snowshoe walks are possible with loops adapted to all levels. Dog sledding is another highlight of the area. After a short initiation, you will be able to drive the sled and lead the huskies. The Barégeoise trails, like those of the Ayré pass, are not lacking in charm either. On this side, leisure activities are numerous. The kindergartens, the French ski school, a ski initiation system and a day care center for the little ones make it an ideal family destination.
Special packages allow you to combine the Tourmalet-Barèges resort with the Pic du Midi resort or to enjoy a day of skiing and access to the Cieléo spa.
