Activities & Amenities Winter: Skiing - Cauterets is connected to the Cirque du Lys ski area by a high speed tele-cabin that has been nicknamed the TGV of the Pyrenees. It transports you from the town at 1,000m to the heart of the ski area at 1,800m in only 12 minutes! The ski area itself is between 1,730m and 2,415m and has 36km of pisted runs. An excellent location for beginners, intermediate skiers and families, with 4 green runs, 9 blue runs, 8 red runs and 2 black runs. The Cauterets ski pass also allows you to ski at the beautiful Pont d'Espagne (about 5 miles away) with a further 3 red runs and two blue runs. Snowboarding - Both Cauterets and the Pont d'Espagne ski areas are very popular with snowboarders. There are large areas of excellent off-piste on offer and at Cauterets there is a 'freestyle' area. Tobogganing - There are many excellent places to take the kids tobogganing but the most popular by far is a purpose made tobogganing slope at the Pont d'Espagne, at the bottom of which is The Chalet-Restaurant du Clot, providing sustenance for both parents and children. I have watched with interest as, slowly but surely, the parents end up having more turns down the run than their children! Telemarking/Snowshoes - For those of you who like cross-country skiing or winter walks with snowshoes, this is hugely popular in the local area and many sports shops cater for the hire of equipment - some will even arrange guided walks and assist you with the best itineraries Summer: Walking - It's your choice - valley walks,
