Being near the mountains, the
village is ideally placed to enjoy the best of the local weather. The Pyrénées
catches the heavy snow, providing spectacular wintry scenes - but the village
is left unaffected by the flurries, so driving around is never a problem, and
ski resorts can still be reached, although some of the smaller mountain roads
will be closed during this time. The snow stays for a large proportion of the
year up in the mountains, so the ski season is always long and busy. In summer,
the area is blessed with a typical southern-French climate of hot sunshine and
blue skies, so barbeques will be plentiful!
With an average of 300 days, 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, the Midi-Pyrénées
is one of the sunniest regions of France. The village has a very moderate
climate compared to the extremes of the nearby mountains and beach resorts,
which are just a short drive away. But even in summer, the high altitudes in
the Pyrénées mean that it still gets very chilly, so it's recommended that
guests pack for cold and hot temperatures if they plan to make use of both the
mountains and the lowlands.
