A good knowledge of mountains is essential, along with suitable equipment.

From the halfway station at Le Taoulet at 2341 metres, the yellow, green and purple slopes are all part of the Pic du Midi trails.

*According to the English journalist Patrick Thorne, a leading expert on skiing destinations. In his guide book, ‘Powder: the greatest ski runs on the planet’ he considered the freeride slopes at the Pic du Midi to be among the fifty most beautiful spots in the world. That’s some recognition – the journalist covered 6000 ski resorts in 80 countries for his book.

Commentaires




« The Pic du Midi (not to be confused with the Aiguille du Midi) is clearly a free run dream when the conditions are right. As long as the wind is under 80 kph you will get up there, but if you want to go for more than just the 360o panorama (incredible) over the Pyrenees or the excellent restaurant, well you’ll either have to be lucky or very well informed to have a DREAM  freeride day. »
