Pyrenees Guide

St Pierre dels Forcats and the resort of Cambre D’Aze is part of the Neiges Catalanes Area which incorporates ten ski stations all covered by one lift pass. Cambre D’Aze is the first station reached when travelling from the Mediterranean and is settled at the foot of an amazing glacial cirque. Wonderfully quiet skiing on tree lined pistes, with a distinct lack of queues and very few British skiers means that a visit to the French Pyrenees offers a very different skiing experience. Intermediate skiers will be challenged by the narrower pistes while enjoying the variety of gradient on offer. The resort is ideal for first timers with two special beginners areas incorporating 8 green runs with very gentle lifts. Beginners will also be able to ski from the top of the chair lift along beautiful, gentle paths.
