I guess that I got lucky when I skied in Superbagneres in January 2011. The snow that fell in late November had pretty much disappeared by early January apart from the well kept pistes. However, the day after we arrived we had 12 hours of heavy snow, giving a good 20cm+ on the mountain. The rest of the week was brilliant sunshine :-). However, this shouldn't disguise the fact that the snow is quite unreliable and the resort offers few challenging runs. Even though we had the new snow, a lot of runs remained closed when we were there and for an experienced skier boredom will quickly set in. The restaurants next to the Grand Hotel at the top of the gondola are ok - usual French offerings - but definitely nothing special. I spotted a sign for a pizza restaurant which seemed to be part of the Grand Hotel but this was obviously in a previous life and was only offering warmed up burgers and chips. Bagneres de Luchon is a great town though, offering something for most visitors. However, even there it is a bit dead compared to other resorts - much better in summer when it is geared up for cyclists!

Editors note: Unfortunately, the very recent comments made about Superbagneres have been deleted. However, I would like to refer to the content of the notes made and say that we feel the review justifies its position.

Superbagneres boasts the highest vertical lift of any gondola in the Pyrenees, linking the town of Luchon (630m) to the resort itself at 1800m. This very traditional, and good value resort is relatively unknown outside of France and as such still has a very "French" feel about it. With the exception of the main French school holidays the resort is generally very quiet with few lift qeueus and relatively empty pistes. The domain is split into 3 distinct areas, Techous, Lac and Cecire and provides a range of pistes to suit all abilities. When conditions permit the off-piste opportunities are great and there are some spectacular views to be had from both the Cecire side of the resort and the ridge above the Secteur du Lac. This very family friendly resort is gradually being updated and a significant investment in snow making equipment means that in all but the worst conditions there should be plenty of skiing to be had. Most services and activities are centered around the resort itself though there is a great restaurant at the foot of the Cecire secteur called "La Hount".
