Off-Piste

TORCHLIGHT DESCENT - Each Wednesday (our night off at Les Sorbiers) we arrange an evening at Chez Louisette, our favourite mountain restaurant superbly situated in the forests of Le Lienz. You will be served a five-course traditional Pyrenean dinner, after the meal the ski school lead a torchlit descent through the forest back to the village. Before the meal the instructors from Ecoloski organise ski games- tandem skiing, inflatables, and snowboarding.

The SKI SCHOOL 'ECOLOSKI' - Whether you are a complete beginner or an expert skier the instructors of Ecoloski, our local ski school, will have you doing things on skis you will have never done elsewhere. For them learning has to be fun so even the beginners will soon be moving around the whole network. The better skier will be taken to some of the special places that only Ecoloski can find, as the instructors are locals their knowledge of the ski area and conditions is unequalled, a love of their mountains shines through their work. You will have the opportunity to meet them each Saturday evening at Les Sorbiers where they will explain the ski area and their programme of activities. Tuition is also available in snowboarding, mono, telemark, touring, cross-country and they offer tandem paragliding flights.

OFF-PISTE AND SKI TOURING - Bareges and its surroundings offer superb opportunities for touring and off- piste skiing. Each Friday the ski school organizes an off-piste tour for all abilities into the National Park where you will descend the beautiful Aygues Cluses valley. In the capable hands of qualified instructors you will learn that off-piste does not mean difficult or dangerous, Ecoloski will demonstrate that the better snow conditions can often be found away from the marked runs. Towards the end of our season we have ski touring weeks with guided two day trips into the National Park at Gavarnie and the Neouvielle.
