This village in the Pyrénées is home to the second-oldest ski resort in France, which is linked with La Mongie to make the largest ski area in the French Pyrénées. Le schwing. It’s about an hour’s drive away from Lourdes, the popular pilgrimage site if you’re into checking out places where little girls saw “visions” centuries ago. If you’re not into that junk, there’s a ton of skiing, obviously, and at night, you can get into a drunken bar brawl with locals in the village or with tourists at the major resort hotels.
Other than that, there’s not much else to do, which is a good thing if you ask me. See you on the slopes.
