Exciting slopes and sunny prospects
While many tourists head for the Alps for their ski holidays, the Pyrenees have much to offer, too. In fact, many discerning winter sports enthusiasts head here for the unique conditions. The specific climatic conditions of the Pyrenees mean that snow sticks to steeper slopes. That means there are some very exciting opportunities for skiing and snowboarding in the Pyrenees.
However, you don't have to be a risk-taker to ski in the Pyrenees. There are many gentler slopes, too. What's more, the proximity to the Mediterranean means these slopes tend to be sunnier and more comfortable for learners.
Other winter activities in the Pyrenees
As well as skiing and snowboarding, the Pyrenees offer you some other opportunities. Hiking in the foothills is a great way to explore the area and take in the views. Or you might enjoy rafting in La Haute-Vallée de l'Aude. The spa towns of the region, like Rennes-les-Bains and Ax-les-Thermes, feature natural warm water springs, where you can bathe in comfort.
Pyrenean history and culture is also quite an attraction. Try visiting the Cathar Castles in the foothills, for remarkable insight into the history of the area. As for gastronomes, local cuisine includes such delicacies as tartiflette with duck, foie gras, cassoulet, charcuterie and fresh trout from the sparkling waters of the region.
