INTERSPORT Rent Tip
The RENTertainer recommends
A real insider tip for experienced skiers is the "Savis" run in the Campels area: a sporty route with wide bends that winds its way through untouched nature - perfect for anyone who appreciates speed and views in equal measure. The panoramic descent "Tute" also offers unforgettable views of the Pyrenees massif and is a particular highlight at sunset. Our RENTertainers in the ski rental shops look forward to providing you with the right equipment.
And after an active day of skiing, it's worth making a detour to the "Les Bains du Couloubret" thermal spa, where you can relax in the open air. Alternatively, we recommend a visit to the public thermal pool in the town centre - a real experience, especially when it's snowing. The best way to end the day is to enjoy regional cheese, cassoulet and a glass of Madiran wine in a traditional brasserie.
