Feel like sliding in the heart of the Pyrenees? Renting a cross-country ski in Luz Saint Sauveur is the ideal way to discover the valley, between pine forests, frozen torrents and panoramic views of the peaks. This authentic village, nestled between the Tourmalet and Gavarnie, is the perfect starting point for a mix of fresh air, hot baths and well-trodden trails.

The Nordic routes of the Toy region and neighboring areas, such as the Val d'Azun, Pont d'Espagne and Hautacam, are easily accessible from Luz. You'll find green and blue loops for confident beginners, as well as more athletic routes for skating endurance. The winter lights are superb in the mornings, when the snow is cold and fast, and the views open out over the ridges and cirques.
