The ski area at a glance

• Altitude: 1465m to 2125m (the "balcony of the Pyrenees").
• 28 pistes: 15% green, 45% blue, 21% red, 18% black — suited to all levels, from beginners to experts.
• Three sectors: Téchous, Lac and Céciré.
• Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, sledging and snowshoeing, with a stunning view over the valley.

How do I get to the slopes?

It's one of Luchon's great assets: the new 10-seat Crémaillère Express cable car (opened December 2023) links the town centre to the slopes in just 8 minutes. No need for a car or a mountain drive every morning: you head off to ski on foot from your apartment.

Why stay in Luchon rather than up the mountain?

Staying in town means enjoying the best of both worlds: the slopes by day, and the atmosphere of a real spa town by evening — shops, restaurants, the casino, and above all the spa for an après-ski wellness session. Our furnished apartments are a few minutes' walk from the cable car.
