      Skiing and dog sledding

On the slopes, let yourself be guided by the changing scenery: forests, boulevard slopes, family fun zones.

      During the day, you’ll meet up at the Plateau du Lienz, home to Frédéric and his Siberian huskies, for a sleigh ride. Comfortably seated, you will follow the rhythm of the dogs in a picture-postcard setting.

      Skiing and a relaxing break for two

      Have breakfast at the hotel and set off down the slopes of the Grand Tourmalet, admiring the breathtaking views one last time and the Pic du Midi as a backdrop.

      Later in the day, enjoy an hour of balneotherapy under the glass dome of Cieléo and its starry sky ceiling.

      Dine where you wish, then return to your hotel for the night.
