Overview of Camurac
Camurac is a small four-season ski resort. Set on the Sault plateau, it consists of two sectors. The Village sector (1,500 m) is the departure point and ideal space for the very youngest and absolute beginners, with its snow garden and green runs. The Esplaneilles sector (1,600-1,760 m), a little higher up, offers the rest of the ski area with blue and red runs winding among the fir trees and the open landscapes of the plateau. What defines Camurac is its peaceful atmosphere and accessibility. It is the perfect resort for a family ski day without breaking the bank, or a learning weekend. The absence of large buildings and the simplicity of its infrastructure preserve an authentic setting where the primary aim is the pleasure of sliding and nature — with the summits of the Ariege Pyrenees and the vestiges of Cathar country as a backdrop.
