Luchon-Superbagnères

About the area

Superbagnères, above Bagnères-de-Luchon in the Pyrenees, is a compact area of about 30 km of pistes. Nearly two thirds of it (19 km, 63%) is green or blue, and there are ten short easy runs grouped next to a lift base, so beginners can repeat the same terrain without long traverses. A magic carpet covers first steps, and the gondola means small children never have to load a chairlift, which makes it a sound family choice. Experts will find it thin: 6 km is black or freeride (19%) and the biggest vertical on a single run is 571 m.

The slopes run from 1463 m to 2122 m, a vertical of 571 m, with the longest descent measuring 2135 m. Fourteen lifts serve the area: one gondola, five chairlifts, five drag lifts, a platter, a rope tow and the magic carpet. The gondola from the valley is the main way up.
