The slopes span widely across four major sectors, with contrasting treelined runs above Barèges and open bowl skiing towards La Mongie.
The whole area is best suited to intermediates, but there are some gentle greens for novices and decent unexploited off-piste. For beginners there is 11 km of green and blue slopes connecting the two ends of Le Grand Tourmalet. Most of these slopes are situated just above La Mongie. For more advanced skiers, there are 5 black and 16 red runs and access to the freestyle area “the Park des Étoiles”. A highlight for freeriders is the well-known Pic du Midi de Bigorre (2,877 m) which can be accessed by cable car from La Mongie. There are no official ski slopes leading from the Pic du Midi – it is exclusively freeride territory.
Baregès is a small, authentic mountain village, with one main street, a newish chalet and a few basic hotels. The lift base is at Tournaboup, 4km up the valley and served by ski bus, though with good conditions you can ski back to the village. La Mongie on the other hand is a 1970s purpose-built resort which whilst still quiet, is slightly livelier than Baregès. The bar at Le Schuss in the centre of town is always busy and L’Igloo bar is another good option which is popular with locals. While Le Grand Tourmalet can’t compete in terms of size of ski area with the mega-resorts of the Three Valleys or Paradiski, it has considerable attractions – price, Gallic charm and fewer crowds to name three.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 02/05
Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
