Alpine ski area — Le Cirque du Lys – Cauterets

The heart of Cauterets skiing, the Cirque du Lys domain is a high-mountain amphitheatre accessible in just 12 minutes from the village centre via the Lys cable car. Its high altitude — 1,730 to 2,415 m — and north-east facing aspect make it a snow reservoir with one of the best natural snowfalls and longest ski seasons in the Pyrenees. This domain is intelligently laid out to satisfy all desires. Beginners and families are welcomed in a dedicated and safe high-altitude area with green runs and two covered carpets for gentle learning in optimal snow. Intermediate skiers enjoy wide perfectly groomed blue and red runs, ideal for carving and chaining turns while enjoying exceptional views over surrounding summits. For experienced skiers, the domain reveals a more sporty character — black runs like the technical Combe du Barbat offer fine challenges with sustained gradients. The Cirque du Lys is also a very popular freeride playground with many easily accessible and secured off-piste routes. Freestyle enthusiasts are also well served with one of the best Pyrenees snowparks — the Oakley Freestyle Park — designed for all levels with different module lines, kickers and rails.
