Cauterets is not one, but two complementary skiing worlds, nestled in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées, at the entrance to the Pyrenees National Park. Thanks to its ideal exposure, the resort benefits from remarkable natural snow cover, among the most reliable in the massif.

Combining urban ambiance and mountain authenticity, Cauterets seduces with its unique charm: a refined, elegant, and lively village all year round. Whether with family or friends, skiing takes all its forms here in a spectacular panorama, often compared to that of the Canadian Far North.

The Cirque du Lys ski area offers 36 km of slopes on more than 700 hectares, between the cable car arrival station and the summit of the Brèche chairlift, culminating at an altitude of 2,415 m: a safe and spacious beginners' area, red and black runs for experienced skiers, a freestyle park for riders and thrill seekers, and abundant natural snow all season long. Quickly accessible from the town center by cable car, the Cirque du Lys offers sporty and panoramic skiing, with views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees.

Just a few kilometers from the village, the Pont d'Espagne site is dedicated to Nordic activities in a wild and protected environment: cross-country skiing (36 km of marked trails), snowshoeing through snowy forests, access to Lake Gaube, waterfalls, and pristine landscapes, located in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, this site is ideal for gentle gliding, far from the hustle and bustle, with routes suitable for all levels.
