About the area

Espace Cambre d'Aze in the French Pyrenees is a small area, about 25 km of pistes, weighted towards easy skiing: 10 km green and 5 km blue, so 61% of the terrain (15 km) is green or blue. There are 15 short easy runs right next to a lift base, which makes it a sound choice for first-timers and cautious skiers. With 6 km red and 4 km black (14%), and a maximum vertical of 504 m on a single run, strong skiers will run out of challenge quickly. Families work here, with the caveat that the area is compact.

The slopes run from 1631 m to 2377 m, and the longest descent measures 2847 m. Lift infrastructure is basic: 15 lifts, of which 11 are drag lifts and 3 rope tows, with a single chairlift, so expect surface tows for most of your day.
