Ax-les-Thermes
Spa
village with good skiing. Hotel or self-catering packages
90
minutes from Toulouse and Carcassonne
Ax-les-Thermes is a spa village
in the main valley leading from Toulouse to Andorra. Only
90 minutes by motorway and main road from both Toulouse and
Carcassonne airports it has become an 'insider secret' for
UK and Irish skiers looking for easily accessible ski resorts
and great skiing. Rather than ploughing on another hour and
a half up to Andorra (and risking blocked roads, avalanches
and queues) canny skiers are opting for Ax as a clever alternative
to Andorra.
The skiing is on the plateau above the village
- fast cable-car service from the village centre - where
three distinct ski areas are available: all operating on
the same ski-pass.
Domaine de Ax les 3 domaines – Altitude : 1400
m – 2400 m
The slopes at Bonascre, Campels and le Saquet have 70 km of signed
pistes serviced by 34 lifts and
telecabins and equipped with 40 snow cannons.
28 ski runs: 5 green, 8 blue, 10 red and 5 black – snowpark.
“ Domaine de Chioula” (10 km away), 60 km of runs of cross country
skiing in the middle of nowhere and 10 km snowshoe trails.
"Plateau
de Beille" - 25kms by car: best Nordic skiing domain in
the Pyrenees with over 100 kms of tracks.
NB: snow conditions are not always optimum
at Ax: we suggest Font Romeu or St
Lary for those landing
at Toulouse or Carcassonne airports.
