Nearby Attractions: The Luchon spa is a huge complex offering three buildings next to each other, for therapy, treatments and relaxation. The luxurious surroundings are meant to relax you and after a few days here one will be fighting fit and raring to go face the world. If you can combine the healing waters with the skiing, then you'll have the best of both worlds.
There are several interesting shops for that unique gift, and the Spanish town of Vielha is only a few km away. |

| The description in the Superbagneres intro is totally incorrect and understates the qualities that the resorts of Luchon and Superbagneres have to offer.
The ski season runs from normally the 2nd or 3rd week in December until the end of March or the 1st week in April. Due to extensive investement in snow making, in all but the worst of conditions visitors will find plenty of skiing to be had.
Luchon is a lively town with elegant Napoleonic architecture and a population of around 3000 which during high season increases significantly. With the exception of the main French school holidays the pistes will feel relatively quiet, and to experience skiing with the piste to yourself try missing the traditional French lunch time of 1200 - 1400 and eat later.
The towns main tree lined street is adorned with bars, restaurants and shops which though very traditionally French are well suited to welcome visitors from afar.
This is a very family friendly resort, with options for both the skier and non skier alike, and if you are looking for a different ski experience I can certainly recommend Luchon/Superbagneres. |
