Ski-in/ski-out

The slopes are at Superbagnères, reached by cable car from the spa town of Bagnères-de-Luchon below, where almost all the hotels are.

Get to know the resort

Superbagnères is the panoramic ski area perched above Bagnères-de-Luchon, the elegant Belle Époque spa town often called the queen of the Pyrenees. A historic cable car lifts skiers from the town to the 1800 m plateau, where 35 km of sunny piste fan out with sweeping views over the high border peaks. The combination of grand mountain scenery, town life and thermal baths makes it one of the most characterful days out in the French Pyrenees.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 6 green, 12 blue, 12 red and 4 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • From 1800 m at the base to 2260 m up top, the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells (score 78/100).
  • It is a compact resort, 35 km of piste on 14 lifts, best as a day trip or a relaxed short break rather than a week-long base.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
