One of Europe?s oldest winter resorts, Font Romeu has been welcoming skiers since 1921. It remains a lively and popular border resort attracting weekend crowds from Spain as well as France. It has the biggest snow making operation in the Pyrenees and the second biggest bed base.
Font Romeu itself is an historic town, about 200km (125 miles) from the city of Toulouse. Facilities include a casino, climbing wall, dog sledding, horse riding, ice hockey, judo, a library, squash, tennis and marked winter walking routes. The ski lifts are 4km (2.5 miles) away. Font Romeu receives 3000 hours of sunshine yearly, more than the Rockies, and has a large snowmaking system.
Most runs are short and flat, but for a greater choice the resort has signed up to the Les Neiges Catalanes Pass, which encompasses neighbouring ski resorts Err Puigmal, Eyne, Formigueres, Les Angles and lift-linked Pyrenees 2000, St Pierre del Forcats and Porte Puymorens. The most challenging skiing available at Font Romeu is "Competition" on the northern face. In general, it's a perfect base for beginners and families.
