What&rsquo;s the skiing like?&nbsp;The resort of La&nbsp;Mongie-Bar&egrave;ges&nbsp;(1800m) in the French Pyrenees offers great opportunities for both on and off-piste skiing. It is located in the centre of the Grand Tourmalet ski area - one of the largest ski areas in the Pyrenees with 120km of slopes. It has snowsure skiing up to 2877m on the Pic du Midi summit and there's a wide variety of skiing for all abiltiies.
La Mongie-Bar&egrave;ges has entered the big league for off-piste skiers.&nbsp;Freeriders&nbsp;have extensive opportunities all the way down from the Pic du Midi, with routes of varying difficulty (some very challenging, best to take a guide);&nbsp;Intermediates&nbsp;are spoilt for choice with an array of sunny, uncrowded pistes;&nbsp;Beginners&nbsp;will find suitable slopes next to La Mongie and wide open blue runs off the Col du Tourmalet. Neighbouring Bareges also offers plenty of gentle skiing on tree-lined slopes.
Best suited to?&nbsp;Intermediates and freeriders
What&rsquo;s the resort like?&nbsp;La&nbsp;Mongie-Bar&egrave;ges is a twinned resort but the two villages are quite different in style: La Mongie is a purpose-built village with 1970s architecture (not to everyone's taste) and&nbsp;Bar&egrave;ges is a pretty, authentic village. A couple of the best apres-ski spots include Le Schuss and L'Igloo in La Mongie.
Off the slopes?&nbsp;The oberservatory at the Pic du Midi (2877m) offers awesome views of Catalonia and the Basque Country. There isn't a huge amount to do in the resort for non-skiers but just a 30-minute drive is Bagneres-de-Bigorre with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aquensis.fr/" target="_blank">Aquensis</a>&nbsp;spa, complete with heated pools, waterfalls, jets, wellness centre and gym.
Downside?&nbsp;Not much nightlife and the 1970s architecture of La Mongie can be a little stark.
Nearest airport(s): Pau Airport (1.5hrs), Toulouse (2.5hrs)
