Piau-Engaly, only 10 km from Spain by the Bielsa tunnel, and 35 minutes from Laspuña, is a futuristic architectural complex which is perfectly integrated in the surrounding landscape. It is the highest ski resort in the French Pyrenees, with a difference of height of 1.100 metres and a great location, which guarantees snow during the whole winter. The ski resort managers even agree in giving you your money back if there is no good snow conditions. The 38 slopes linked by 21 ski tows have a 22.000 people an hour capacity and it is a very popular resort amongst ski lovers who fancy action. You will have the choice between a half day ski pass and, for example, a Piau-St Lary ski pass, which will allow you to use the Monday-to-Friday ski pass in Saint Lary ski resort nearby.

- • Car Park - Fon Blanca - Añisclo pass
From the San Urbez car park, go down the bridge that crosses the Bellos river. Wide path until the Sangón bridge. Cross and follow the right hand river bank for a long time. A big inclinated way and a cornice going through a wonderful beech forest will take you to the Ripareta.
-
Góriz Hut - Arrablo - Fuenblanca - Añisclo pass
From Goriz, take the way going south-east without going down. Don´t follow the way on the right that goes to Cuello Gordo. You will pass the canyon that goes down to the Goriz Tower.
- Pineta to Añisclo pass
It is a long and hard route because of the great difference in height. But it is as beautiful as hard. Interesting and numerous wildlife.
- Pineta Valley- Marboré Lake – Pineta Balcony- Aztazu pass
Long route, with a great difference in height. But the view over Monte Perdido glacier and the valley of Pineta are worth the effort.
