Between the Pic du Midi and the forests of Barèges, the Grand Tourmalet is the largest ski area in the Pyrenees. To make the most of its wide slopes and playful edges, snowboard hire at La Mongie Grand Tourmalet is the ideal option: you choose a board suited to your level and set off to ride without constraint from the very first climb.

The Pyrenean climate changes quickly. Mornings are often cold and dry, perfect for carving curves on freshly groomed slopes; afternoons become milder in the sunshine. After a return from the west, you can find beautiful layers of fresh snow, while on windy days, the Barèges side, more wooded and sheltered, remains a safe bet. From January to March, snow cover is generally the most regular; at the end of the season, we aim for the sunniest faces for a pleasant spring snow. Every morning, check the weather report and the avalanche risk if you leave the marked trails.
