A rest space, where vibratory hives are inserted. Bees circulate there freely, and their particular frequency transmits a subtle energy to this polarized wooden room.

Hors track: descend the Pic du Midi in Ski Free Ride

Emblematic summit of Hautes-Pyrénées, from the top of its 2,877 meters, the Pic du Midi de Bigorre is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world for the practice of free ride skiing.

Chalet La Source Cauterets Ski Free Ride Pic du Midi Grand AngleOn the two sections of the cable car (departure from Station de la Mongie) and on different pic's slopes, many routes are possible. The elevations range from 500 meters to 1500 meters, and the slope from 30 to more than 50 degrees.

The area is not marked out or fitted out, this activity cannot be improvised. It is essential to be accompanied by an experienced mountain guide , which perfectly knows the weather and snow conditions, the authorized limits and the routes, and will be able to equip you with the required safety equipment.

A mastery of “all snow” practice is required. The slopes are of black track level, and it will be necessary to be able to adapt to different qualities of snow: often hard at the start of the route, more flexible afterwards.

In addition to these basic precautions, this free Ride of the Pic du Midi descent over almost 10 km, in a breathtaking panorama, will leave you an unforgettable memory. After a good sharing of experience in the evening at the Chalet La Source, you will only have a desire: start again!

“Drift” in Fatbike on Snow

Chalet La Source Cauterets Luz Bike Fatbike on snow departureHere is an original idea that will appeal to everything to the family: the fat bike on snow! Discover this activity with Pierre, ATT state instructor.

In full swing in recent years, the Fatbike is to travel through paths with an all-terrain bike with extra-light tires.

In descent mode on snow, this practice is as much skiing as mountain biking ... On the snow, we “drifte”!

No need to force: we go up in a chairlift, and we go down on the groomed tracks.

Chalet La Source Cauterets Luz Bike Fatbike on snow groupAround Cauterets, two stations allow the practice of Fatbike on snow: Luz-Ardiden and Barèges Grand Tourmalet.

At the Grand Tourmalet the activity is practiced before or after the opening of the domain to skiers; In Luz Ardiden you can practice all day, on distinct tracks.

No need to be a champion either, just be comfortable on a mountain bike. Pierre is then there, to teach you to “drifter” like a pro!
