Ski fields in the Catalan Pyrenees
Today there are 9 ski-resorts and the 4 cross-country ski areas offered in the Pyrénées-Orientales making up a total ‘ski-zone’ consisting of 280km of ski-runs, 105 mechanical lifts, 1320 snow-cannons, 350km of cross-country skiing, a framework of 350 activity leaders, 13 ski schools, and 9 snowparks – a unique offering to the public.
For winter snow holidays, Catalan Pyrenees are the mountains you need.
Discover cross-country - the Nordic areas of the Pyrénées-Orientales
The Nordic area of the Capcir offers several fields over the whole plateau. There are activities and landscapes for all tastes: cross-country ski, snow-shoes, sleigh-dogs, snow-kite, walking, luge, nights in a refuge… Forest tracks, river, panoramic views of Canigou right down to the sea…15 villages to give you a welcome… The Capcir, it’s also a joy for children, with areas specially equipped for them, on skis or toboggan. In the Capcir, the largest cross-country ski area in the South, the history of cross-country skiing is linked with that of the Country – Domaines de la Llose, Clavera and la Quillane-Calvet classified as 4 Nordiques by Nordique France.
Snow-Shoes... hmm... I love them!
The rediscovery of an age-old piece of equipment allows you to go right into the heart of the mountain in winter.
Better than ever, the snow-shoe opens up a beautiful and austere natural area, beyond that exploited by the ski-stations, which for a long time was inaccessible to most people.
Snow-shoe professionals will accompany you.
