The Gite is conveniently located just 2km down the road from the small ski resort of Peyregudes, our local ski area. The ski areas are made up of 3 distinct bowls straddling mountian sranging from 1600m up to 2400m. Resort facilities include bars, restaurants, equipment shops and rental shops.
It is a great area for intermediate level skiers and boarders. When there is plenty of snow around you can ski all the way down to the Gites finishing up just below our courtyard! Otherwise it is a simple 5 minute drive or bus ride from the village up to the ski lifts.
The resort is popular with French locals and weekend visitors but rarely gets too busy so queues are not usually a problem and the lack of package holiday groups give it a friendly atmosphere The prices for lit passes, equipment hire and the bars and cafes are considerably better than you will find in the Alps.
There are 36 Pistes and various off piste opportunities.
