The resort

Opening of the ski resort Grand Tourmalet Barèges postponed to the 23rd of December 2023.

Located in the Hautes-Pyrénées, at the foot of the majestic Pic du Midi de Bigorre, the ski resort of La Mongie, in collaboration with Barèges, forms the Grand Tourmalet-Pic du Midi, the largest ski area in the French Pyrenees. The two resorts offer a unique and complementary experience.

On one side, Barèges, on the western slope, retains all the charm, authenticity, and conviviality of a Pyrenean village, with its stone and slate barns and shepherd's huts. Today, Barèges combines relaxation, sports, and thermalism, making it a unique tourist destination.

On the other side, on the eastern slope, La Mongie offers all the amenities of a ski resort at the foot of the slopes, in a high mountain environment where all forms of skiing are possible. Here, the atmosphere is 100% mountain, and you can put on your skis as soon as you leave your accommodation. All the necessary shops are within reach.

Dominating these two stations, the Pic du Midi invites you, from its summit, to explore a new exceptional "freeride space.
