The Pyrenees - the Perfect Ski Holiday Destination
Be Seduced by the Charm of the Pyrenees, a Hidden Skiing Gem...
Skiing Holidays in the Pyrenees are often overlooked, but those prepared to venture from the increasingly expensive and crowded Alps never fail to be seduced by the authentic charm and character of the Pyrenees.
It doesn't take long to understand why the Pyrenees are refered to as an unspoilt paradise, a hidden gem in the world of snow sports, people only wish they'd discovered it sooner...
Great Value, Affordable Ski Holidays
Why Would you Want to Ski Anywhere Else?
Often boasting more snow than the Alps, perfectly groomed slopes, a warm friendly atmosphere, why would you want to ski anywhere else?
With four excellent ski resorts all within a short drive from the lodge (max 10 Mins), there truly is something for every age and every ability level. With the arrival of our brand new high speed Gondola taking us directly from the valley floor up to one of our favourite resorts Peyragudes, getting to the slopes couldn’t be easier.
More for less...
Combined with the exceptional quality of the region, are the competitive costs of a ski holiday here. Lift passes, equipment hire and lunchtime stops all contribute to an affordable and great value ski and snowboard holiday destination.
Family Ski Holidays
The Pyrenees - Perfect for the Kids...
Uncrowded slopes, friendly locals, affordable lunches, tree lined runs for all weather conditions.
The Pyrenees boasts everything from gentle family skiing right through to serious black pistes, coupled with some great snowparks for budding freestylers, we have everything to keep even the most energetic of boarders and skiers happy!
The Pyrenees are the ideal ski holiday destination for the whole family.
Equipment Hire
VIP Service for Ancienne Poste Guests...
We have a wonderful relationship with our local ski hire shop, who not only offer all guests staying at the L’Ancienne Poste a discount on the latest rental equipment, but who also provide us with an invaluable service of storing all our equipment in the shop at the end of the day, to be dried, waxed and ready to go for the next morning.
The shop is located right on the snow front aprox 30m from the nearest lift, so no lugging equipment around when the fatigue kicks in at the end of the day, which is especially useful for our younger guests.
