The great work of the technical field teams and the resort cannon system , which guarantee a minimum of 66% snow for cultivation, added to the snowfall of the last few days (which have left good depths of snow) predict a February Half-Term splendid on the slopes.

The carnival bustle arrives from February 26 to March 6 with an agenda full of activities and animations designed to enjoy both with friends and family .. Costumes , gymkhanas or face painting are some of the proposals for the little ones , but there will also be fun for adults with concerts , gifts and many costumes.

The Pas de la Casa ski area will host a February Half-Term torchlight descent on Saturday, February 26. Starting at 6:30 p.m., the climb to the slopes will begin, and at 7:00 p.m., the parade will begin down the slopes with torches creating a true show of light and fire.
