The Skiers' Guide to Ax 3 Domaines

Quality resort, everything from runs, weather , apres absolutely spot on runs for all ages, gender, level

An amazing place to go especially if you have a group of mates going! Had 13 of us all different levels of ski or snowboarding. Lots of options for all level riders. Great food & apres, can go between mountains like Morzine and over the boarder into Switzerland. Easy to get there! 100% would go again!

Resort of Ax Les Therme is a spa town with naturally heated spa facilities in the village which are amazing. Gondola up to the ski area can get busy after 10am so best to get to the gondola at 8.30am to 9.30am. There is a great bakery in the village to buy fresh filled baguettes and pastries in the morning.

Great resort, good ski area. Plenty of different bits for every ability. Will be taking our child there to learn. Always plenty of snow. Ski in ski out is great. Not been there for a while. Want to go and experience new apres bar. Really good for the whole family to enjoy. Lifts are brilliant. No old chair lifts that make you anxious with the children. An easy resort to travel to and from. Would recommend for all round skiers.

Great ski station, had a lot of fun there !
There are multiple ski slopes for all levels, shops and facilities. Prices are ok

Went with friends for the first time thoroughly enjoyed and will return.
Slopes were well maintained and varied in difficulty.

Station plutôt sympathique avec une ambiance familiale, manque régulièrement de neige et il y a pas mal de monde pour une station dans les pyrénées

We visited Ax during the last week of January. While the snow conditions werent ideal on the first day, we were fortunate to have a few snowfalls, which improved things significantly. The lifts, however, are beginning to show their age and could certainly benefit from some modernisation. During our visit, we didn't encounter any queues on the weekdays, which was a pleasant surprise.

One downside, however, was the amount of flat terrain, which proved challenging for snowboarders. The plateau, with its numerous small green runs, was quite disorganised; nothing seemed to connect, meaning a fair bit of walking was required. The Campels side was fantastic on one day, but very windy the next, although it did offer some great blue runs.

Overall, the resort is ideal for complete beginners, especially given that access to the bunny slopes is only 25. On a positive note, we had a wonderful experience at the Rendezvous restaurant definitely worth a visit.

Have skied most of the other local resorts in this area of the Pyrenees but this is my favourite. Thermal spa town with a great thermal baths to unwind after skiing. Lovely authentic town centre with thermal springs in the centre. 80kms of runs if all open but due to lack of snow not usually 100% open. Good facilities for motorhomes, can park at the bottom of the slopes. Nice tree lined runs . A good resort for a few days skiing. Gets very busy in school holidays though.

Trip was expensive, slopes were smooth and arrived on a snowy powdery day. Didnt travel down terrain parks much but they looked Icey and steep, excellent for highly qualified skiers. Food was good for the price.
