Looking for snow from the Ville Rose? Renting snowshoes in Toulouse is the easy way to enjoy a true winter interlude without having to travel far. Pick up your equipment in town, then head for the nearby Pyrenees for a day or weekend of fresh air and panoramic views.

In less than two hours, the Luchonnais, Comminges and Ariège valleys offer superb marked itineraries. Fir forests, open plateaus, silent clearings... The Plateau de Beille, Le Chioula and Le Mourtis are ideal for beginners, while experienced hikers prefer the ridges around Ax-les-Thermes or Superbagnères when conditions are stable.
