Off-piste: Ski down the Pic du Midi on freeride skis

An iconic peak in the Hautes-Pyrénées, at 2,877 meters, the Pic du Midi de Bigorre is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world for freeride skiing.

On both sections of the cable car (departing from La Mongie station) and on different slopes of the Pic, numerous routes are possible. The elevation changes range from 500 meters to 1500 meters, and the gradient from 30 to over 50 degrees.

As the area is neither marked nor equipped, this activity cannot be undertaken without proper preparation. It is essential to be accompanied by an experienced mountain guide who is thoroughly familiar with the weather and snow conditions, the permitted limits and routes, and who can provide you with the necessary safety equipment.

A mastery of "all snow" techniques is required. The slopes are of black run level, and it will be necessary to be able to adapt to different snow conditions: often hard at the beginning of the run, softer afterwards.

With these basic precautions, this freeride descent of nearly 10 km from the Pic du Midi offering breathtaking panoramic views, will leave you with an unforgettable memory. After a great sharing of the experience in the evening at Chalet La Source, you'll only have one desire: to do it again!
