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 13/12
A short burst of unsettled weather moves over the French Alps to start the weekend, as tendrils of low pressure make their way down from Central and Eastern Europe amidst a sea of high pressure. A few flurries of snow will therefore fall overnight Friday and throughout Saturday. This won’t really add up to anything too meaningful, but will be a useful cover for pistes that have gone about a week without snowfall.
Temperatures remain cool, with highs of -5°C at 2,000m – the freezing line remains low, at somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500m throughout this period.
High pressure resumes from the new week onwards, with plenty of sun and fine, dry and bright conditions dominating. Temperatures will bump up in the midday sun as the freezing line pushes close to 2,000m, but will remain generally cool. Some more unsettled weather moves in towards the middle of next week, hopefully bringing more snow.
