Skiing around the pistes and forest trails of Les Angles is mainly geared towards beginners and intermediate skiers and boarders with long cruising green and blue trails.

One look at the Les Angles piste map shows just 8 black pistes so on the face of it, there is not much to challenge expert skiers for a weeks ski holiday. However, the ski area provides some excellent back-country off piste skiing where you can explore pristine natural beauty on guided ski tours using skins and staying overnight in mountain refuges.
