Skiing

Skiing provides you with the opportunity to enjoy entering the heart of unspoilt mountains and to appreciate untouched stretches of snow and unique scenery far from the madding crowd.

Remember that a basic knowledge of skiing technique on-piste is essential. Equally, a good level of physical fitness is desirable for the enjoyment of this activity, especially on uphills.

For an initiation or to really benefit from the wealth of skiing opportunity available in the Catalan Pyrenees in safety, professional instructors can accompany you for a day or more.

Essential equipment:

Skiing requires specific equipment. Besides the traditional equipment designed to protect you from the cold and sun, plan for needing specific skis, and also essential safety equipment (ARVA beacon, spade, probe). This equipment can easily be hired from the local sports shops.

Safety rules:

For your enjoyment and safety, tailor your choice of route to your level of fitness, your level of technical skill, weather conditions and the snow.
Before doing any skiing, always check the weather forecast and the stability of snow cover regarding the risk of avalanche. Do not ski alone and always tell someone your route and your planned departure and return times.
