Cauterets is a family resort. We have been skiing here with our kids and extended family for 20 years. It’s an annual pilgrimage for generations of French families grand parents, parents, kids and toddlers. There’s not a lot to entertain teens/advanced alpine skiers either on or off piste unless you’re into the particularly superb cuisine of south west France, spa time, ice skating, snow shoeing, ski de fond or walking. Come to teach your kids or friends how to ski or board and you won’t be disappointed. If someone in your party can’t or doesn’t want to ski (?) neither will they, as this pretty Napoleonic spa town has plenty to keep them busy. Cauterets is a beautiful village (views over the Pyrenees up the mountain are stunning as well), no ugly concrete ski hotels here, for brutalist but stunning concrete and advanced skiing checkout Bond themed snow sure Piau Engalay. For a week, as a family holiday it’s a hidden gem!
