WHETHER YOU ARE WINTER OR SUMMER, YOU WILL ENJOY THE PLACE
Down in the valley, the village of Saint-Lary-Soulan located less than 20km from Spain exudes authenticity with its stone and half-timbered facades which make it the most beautiful ski village in the Pyrenees. The evenings are festive and mix Iberian atmospheres of the South-West and conviviality!
Nearby, you will also have access to the resorts of Piau Engaly (25 minutes), Peyragudes (25 minutes) and Val Louron (15 minutes), and multiple walks in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, the Néouvielle Nature Reserve and also the GR10.
But also for all your summer leisure activities (hiking, biking, rafting, canyoning, kayaking, horse riding, paragliding, trail and rando raid...).
