From high-altitude forests to peaks overlooking Spain, the Pyrenees possess a raw charm that stands out. Less flashy than the Alps, but more human and vibrant. Skiing takes place amid pines and valleys, sometimes facing the sea, sometimes in powder silence. The resorts maintain their mountain spirit: wooden chalets, small bars at the base of slopes, ski schools where everyone eventually gets to know each other. From Grand Tourmalet to Baqueira-Beret, from Saint-Lary to Catalan plateaus, each area has its own light, rhythm, and accent. Some invite sporty skiing, others Nordic strolling. And when evening falls, with hot wine and the snow gradually fading, one understands why the Pyrenees are among the mountains that are unforgettable.
