Visitor reviews for Ax-les-Thermes

    Ax is a great little town with a real French atmosphere. There is easy access to the ski hill on the gondola from town. There are some great budget hotels in town and a pool of hot spring water to soak your feet in after a day on the slopes. If you are expecting an English style party town, then carry on into Andorra, Ax is more for the family who want to ski a little, experience the real France and relax.

    Just back from 6 days at Bonsacre (Ax-les-Thermes) and was very disappointed. The resort is fine for intermediate and advanced skiers, but beginners are very poorly served. The 2 main green runs down to the base station do not have snow cannons (in fact the whole resort is lacking in cannons) so have not been open for the last 2 years. The remaining greens iced up very quickly and by our 4th day were more difficult to ski on that the reds. There are some long blues, but getting back up from the bottom takes about 10 minutes. Personally, no run is worth over half my time sitting in a chair getting there !!
    The restaurants in Bonsacre (Ax-les-Thermes) are good and although there are lots of ski shops, they only rent skis and sell small items, such as hats, gloves and goggles. Jackets and trousers for sale are few and far between.
    If you expect to go down to Ax in the evening, then you will need to take your car as the telecabin shuts at 20:00
    Note: in 2006/7 only 3 runs were open.

    Ax is a great field to visit. My kids and I spent 4 days there and really enjoyed ourselves. However, the service in the restaurants on the field was unfriendly - much better in the town itself. My son found his first powder-well under a tree just off L'Ours. Great fun!

    Ax is a great little place to ski three areas last time we were there 18 euros a day for a pass but it is a"local "hill for local people !!! you will not hear much English spoken ,accomodation in the town can be cheap and cheerful but if you have a car it is a great base for touring the other Andorran resorts but dont forget your passport if you do stay there
