Incredible panoramas to enjoy your favorite activities in spring: skiing, relaxing, contemplating, hiking, fishing, climbing ...
From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees offer a wide range of skiable terrain for guaranteed sensations under the spring sun! With 40 resorts dedicated to skiing and various snow sports, the Pyrenees are the second largest winter sports destination in France. From Grand Tourmalet-Pic du Midi, the largest resort in the French Pyrenees, to Camurac, a family resort in the Aude, via Saint-Lary Soulan, Cauterets, Ax-3 Domaines, Font-Romeu, Les Angles or Peyragudes.
