As an adventurer and lover of the great outdoors, I specialise in holidays that are full of emotion! Don’t hesitate to contact me to adapt this holiday. See you soon in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
The Grand Tourmalet is the largest ski area in the French Pyrenees. On one side, the massif of La Mongie, at the foot of the pistes; on the other, the massif of Barèges and the atmosphere of an authentic Pyrenean village. With the Pic du Midi in its domain, and its freeride descent, the Grand Tourmalet guarantees great skiing.

Pic Du Midi Winter
The Pic du Midi cable car: simple, easy access to the highest peaks!
The Pic du Midi cable car takes passengers on a spectacular journey to the summit, at an altitude of 2,877 metres, where the 1,000 m² of terraces offer a 360° view of the Pyrenees, the great plains of the South West and the foothills of the Massif Central. The view is unique and the panorama exceptional.
But the Pic du Midi also boasts a valuable observatory for scientists, and thehighest museum in Europe, which passionately recounts the human epic of the construction of this exceptional site.
This completely renovated hotel is located in the heart of the Grand Tourmalet ski resort (La Mongie side), just a few minutes from the snow front. After crossing the legendary Tourmalet pass, you’ll be just a few minutes from the Pic du Midi for a flight to an altitude of 2,877 metres.
A bar is available to guests, as well as a tea room for delicious family snacks as soon as you get back from skiing, a guaranteed moment of indulgence. And let’s not forget the aperitif with friends by the fireplace! The hotel offers charcuterie boards with the famous “porc noir de Bigorre” accompanied by fine wines from the region.
Modern, with refined industrial-style decor, it has 20 rooms, a reception, a bar, 2 Nordic baths and a sauna. Each room has its own private bathroom, TV, wifi and bathrobes. Pets are not allowed.
The estimated budget for this trip is €560 per person.
