Activity description

Discover Barèges and its surroundings on a ski touring excursion with a breathtaking view of the Pic du Midi!

An exceptional ski tour in Barèges with a vertical drop of between 400 and 600 metres awaits you. At the gateway to Barèges, you'll be accompanied by Henri, your mountain guide, who will show you the joys of such an excursion and the impressive mountain scenery. The hike takes place close to the mythical Pic du Midi, which rises to a height of 2877.

The ski tour will take you through enchanting landscapes right in the heart of the Pyrenees. Your experienced and passionate mountain guide will be with you every step of the way, sharing his in-depth knowledge of ski touring techniques, adapted to your level, both uphill and downhill.

You can choose between two excursion modes: the beginner mode, ideal for those who know how to ski, and the sport mode for those looking for a more intense challenge. The sport tour has a greater vertical drop, between 1000 and 1500 metres. You'll have the chance to hone your skills, including learning how to navigate the snowpack, create tracks and use safety equipment such as avalanche transceivers, shovels and probes.

For a more immersive experience, consider extending your adventure over two days with a night in a refuge with a link between Barèges and St Lary. This option will allow you to take full advantage of the unique mountain atmosphere and enjoy a complete ski touring experience.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced skier, this ski tour facing the Pic du Midi promises unforgettable moments, breathtaking views and total immersion in the natural beauty of the region. Join us for an exceptional adventure in Barèges in the Pyrenees!
