Description:

Val d'Azun is the largest Nordic area in the Hautes Pyrenees and in addition to 100 Km of marked out cross country trails, provides the opportunity to sample many other typical winter sports.  With both a cross country and snowshoeing school, there really is no excuse to have a go.

 

Being only 25 Km south of Lourdes, it really is very accessible and with the high number of sunny days a great place to try a new sport.
