  Yep, Cauterets is a small resort, mainly for families who are beginners/intermediates. It's very French, and is popular with the French themselves, rather than the Brits. Despite that, we've been twice and always found everyone to be very friendly. There are also some nice little bars and restaurants, ranging from a Pizza takeaway, to some places with seriously good cuisine. There's also a great market where you can buy local cheese, bread and wine, as well as gourmet takeaway to microwave back at your apartment. Quite inexpensive, and easy to reach from Pau, Lourdes, Toulouse and even Carcassonne airports. We love it.

  Skied here for the last couple of years, beautiful village, quite good run's, although not really that challenging. Good for beginners and intermediates, very friendly place with good selection of restaurants and bars. Very family orientated place, nice not to be 'herded' around, just left to your own devices.
  Mountain has snow making on, so there's usually something to ski on! Very reasonably priced, and recently modernised lifts and cable car. All in all, a great place to go!

  Small, compact ski area reached by gondola from the village. Skied there for 2 days in Feb 2007 whilst in the area. Preferred the skiing at Luz Ardiden, but the bowl at Cauterets holds snow well and would be good for families with kids.
  Cheap compared with the Alps as well and the Pyrenees do have a charm of their own!

  Cauteret is a little village,and the skiing resort is small, but very "alpin".
  This place is very snowy,and you can ski from November to May. The view all over the French Pyrenees from the top of Cauteret is incredible.
  Good little restaurants with famous french south westerner food, nice prices; it's not Val d'Isere or Megève, but skiing is cheap and cool.
  Near Cauteret, try to visit a very sportive ski resort named Gourette, 50 KM south of Pau and its "low costed airline companies airport". In Gourette,70 KM of skiing tracks, red, black, blue and green slopes from 1400 metres to 2400!
  Very snowy place from November to end of April.
