If you're looking for a pleasant destination for a family holiday in the mountains of the Pyrenees, Ax-les-Thermes is the perfect place. Known since ancient times for its thermal waters, the commune of Ax-les-Thermes is very popular with winter sports enthusiasts, who visit the resort of Ax-3-domaines. However, you don't have to go skiing to enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere of the Ariege Pyrenees.

Take the time to slow down and try a more accessible, family-friendly activity: snowshoeing in Ax-Les-Thermes with a treasure hunt. This accessible activity is supervised by an experienced guide, who will be on hand to guide you throughout the snowshoe outing. He'll even teach you how to build an igloo using an ancestral method!

During this snowshoe treasure hunt in the Pyrenees, you'll wander around looking for tracks and clues left on the snow or trees. Then, it's up to you to guess who's been there! As the activity is accessible to beginners from the age of 4, it really is the perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors with the whole family while discovering an easy and essential sport.
