Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Skiing in the Pyrénées

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
In February I am being sent out to Toulouse to work for 6 months, While I am out there I want to get a fair bit of weekend skiing in along with a 4day (5 night) break.

I am interested to hear any thoughts on where best to ski, and how difficult transport is from Toulouse (I'm not taking a car with me so Im stuck with Trains/Buses or at a worst case hiring a car.

Andorra is 3 hours by coach transfer, not sure about the Alps. I skied Andorra 2 years ago and will be heading out in 3 weeks. The skiing is as extensive (according to a friend of mine who has seasoned in Verbier) as a lot of the Alps.

Font Romeu, Eyne, Bolquere, Les Angles, all approx 1500m to 2500m high resorts,
Think there is a train station, in the vicinity (Mont Louis perhaps)

There's a station in Font Romeu too, they are all on Le Train Jeune line from Perpignan. Kruisler is your man for this, I think he originates from Toulouse.

I am currently an hour North, but Toulouse has better options via SkiRail that offers same day returns including lift tix for 30-55 €. http://www.skirail-ter.com/ Looks like a long day, but a good price- haven't figured out if they will let you extend and stay overnight.

I have only been here for a few months and have yet to ski in the Pyrenees, but think the last two are pretty popular (along with Andorra)

the_fatadder, It may be that some resorts organise a day trip coach service to\from Toulouse. It's no help but I know 'ski buses' run in other parts of Europe. I'm pretty sure Luchon do a transfer coach but it's more for holiday makers. You may find a Ski club that runs a weekend coach too.

Looking at the site a bit more, no stayovers are permitted and the (50%) discount on the rail tix is only good when combined with lift tix purchase

Peut-on faire le trajet retour le lendemain ou plusieurs jours après le trajet aller ?
Il n’est pas impératif de faire le trajet retour le même jour que le trajet aller. Le trajet retour peut être effectué jusqu’à la fin de la date de validité inscrite sur le billet.
Peut-on profiter du billet de train à 50% sans acheter le forfait remontées mécaniques Skirail?
Non il est impossible de dissocier le prix du trajet train au prix du forfait remontées mécaniques SKIRAIL.

rough translation

Can we make the return trip the next day or several days after the trip go?
It is imperative to make the return trip the same day as the outward journey. The return trip can be done until the end of the expiry date listed on the ticket.
Can we take advantage of the train ticket to 50% without purchasing Skirail ski pass?
No it is impossible to separate the train fare to the price of ski pass Skirail.

MEfree30, you've got your translation a bit wrong on the first part!

It says:

It is NOT imperative to make the return trip on the same day as the outward journey. The return journey can be made up until the end of the validity period marked on the ticket.
