Mountain and winter sports Midi-Pyrénées

With an east-west orientation for optimum sunshine, the ski area guarantees constant snow coverage thanks to a high-performance network of snow guns, ensuring perfect skiability whatever the weather conditions. Situated at altitudes between 1,600 m and 2,400 m, the ski area enjoys ideal natural snow conditions every winter. It offers 51 runs on two slopes. Skiers will particularly appreciate the Vallée Blanche, a 5 km itinerary in the heart of nature, and the famous 2.7 km piste 007, which offers splendid views.

The ski resort, which has successfully converted to a 4-season resort, offers a wide range of outdoor activities all year round: hiking, mountain biking, Nordic walking... In winter, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and tobogganing take over. Also worth trying out is the geocaching interpretation trail, a satellite-based geopositioning system that allows you to find clues at various points along the 2.7 km trail. Perfect for enriching your knowledge.

Ranked among the Top 10 facilities worldwide (yes, yes), Lou Bac Montain is an attraction not to be missed. How does it work? A toboggan on a monorail that you pilot at the speed you want, up to a maximum of 42 km/h, over 2,000 meters of descent, 430 meters of vertical drop, with passages at 70% declination, in complete safety. Add to this an incredible panorama in summer or winter, with the possibility of night descents in winter. Minimum height 1.25 m for a solo descent, otherwise children can descend between the legs of an adult.

More than a great mountain professional, Yoann is passionate about the Pyrenees. He will take you to meet the shepherds in the summer pastures, he will take your family to observe the marmots and isards, he will make you watch by the fire for an evening of tales and extraordinary stories. He knows all the paths that run through the mountains, from those used by the men's smugglers between France and Space during the war to those that allow you to reach the summits of more than 3,000 metres. In winter, Yoann puts on his snowshoes.
