Get to know the resort
Le Mourtis covers 25 km of piste on 8 lifts, almost all cut through beech and pine forest, with the top of the area at 1,860 m. The mix runs eight greens, ten blues, five reds and two blacks, which sums up the family bias: this is a place to learn, to come back at weekends from Toulouse, and to teach kids without breaking the bank. Lift pass prices are among the lowest in the French Pyrenees. Snow can be marginal in early December and late March given the southern slope and modest altitude, but the tree cover keeps the cold layer in shape longer than open Pyrenean balconies. The base hamlet is small: a couple of restaurants, a hotel or two and the apartment buildings that grew up around the lift station in the 1960s. The wider Comminges valley below is wooded, rural and quiet, with the Pic de Cagire watching over the lot.
Good to know
- The piste map leans gentle: 8 green and 10 blue runs against 5 red and 2 black, so beginners and early intermediates rarely run out of comfortable terrain.
- From 1350 m at the base to 1860 m up top, the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells (score 68/100).
- It is a compact resort, 25 km of piste on 8 lifts, best as a day trip or a relaxed short break rather than a week-long base.
- The lifts typically turn for about 15 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
