Luz Ardiden is a relatively new resort with skiing divided into two distinct districts: Aulian and Bederet. There are 65 km of marked pistes in all and a designated off-piste area too. Luz Ardiden has 28 groomed trails and the terrain is suitable for all abilities. There is cross country skiing available and the nearest airport to Luz Ardiden is Pau.
We ski Luz Ardiden regularly, a great small resort with nice snow park and good runs. It's a good family station with some challenging pistes as well. Snow is generally good and you are not in the Alps, which is great. It's less busy, cheaper accommodation and food. A popular station with the Spanish and for good reason, the town and surrounding area are beautiful. From Luz St Sauveur you can ski, Luz, Tourmalet La Mongie, Gavarnie and Cauterets. Also many natural hot springs with luxurious thermal baths in the area. You can buy combination Thermes/Ski tickets.
