Visitor Reviews of Font Romeu
Tony Pembroke from Ireland writes:
My family and I skied Font Romeu in early January 2010. This is an excellent family friendly resort linked to a neighbouring resort called Pyrenees 2000. The slopes are excellent for beginners with greens in abundance. There are not many resorts where you can ski from the top right to the bottom on greens! There are a large number of smooth blues all over and an excellent blue into Pyrenees 2000. There are a number of blacks but these are more red in nature although sometimes icy. Many good pistes for intermediates at the back of the resort and into Pyrenees 2000.The resort is well interlinked with 3 mountain restaurants to allow frequent hot chocolates. We stayed in Font Romeu and found an excellent pub with a central fireplace where one could order food through a 'hole in the wall'. All in all, an excellent family friendly resort with a creche at the base of the ski resort and a linked lift right from the centre of Font Romeu village. We have been to the Pyrenees many times and enjoy neighbouring resorts of Les Angles and Formigueres. For a weeks trip taking in all three resorts is very possible. We would highly recommend Font Romeu for a 3-4 day trip.
