Snow Sports

The area has great potential for a multi-sport holiday in the winter. The climbing can be perfect when the sun shines but if it rains it is often snowing in the mountains.
Ax-les-Thermes is 35mins drive from La Forge and offers excellent ski and snowboard conditions. Last winter it had some of the best snow in France and has the advantage of being much less busy than many of the Alpine stations.
This winter has kicked off early with record snow falls.
Other resorts are within easy range with Andorra at about 11/2 hrs by road or train.
As well as downhill, you can try cross-country skiing just 15 minutes up the road from the house. At just 8 euros for the day and no experience necessary, it's a great day out and good exercise too!
