Travelling to Perpignan from Madrid or Barcelona is very easy. We offer daily services to travel to Perpignan (the centre of the world, as Dalí called it) from the capital of Spain: you can choose the train that travels to Marseille or take the AVE (high-speed) train to Barcelona.
From Barcelona, you can take a train to Marseille or Lyon, which stop at Perpignan. The journey time is just over 80 minutes from Barcelona, so it takes much less time to reach the slopes and with greater comfort than by car, with the usual traffic jams during the weekends. From there, you can take a bus to some of the resorts and ski in the French Pyrenees.
In fact, Les Angles is a true village-resort, which reaches the foot of the slopes and which, although retaining its traditional appearance, is a modern ski resort.
In fact, it is the only town in the Pyrenees in which the slopes reach the historic district, found in the centre of town. The surroundings of the French Cerdagne make Les Angles the perfect place to enjoy with your family.
The ski area extends over 55 km of slopes of all levels and at an altitude of 800 m. With its highest point located at an altitude of 2,400 metres, it is one of the largest areas in the Eastern Pyrenees, with 45 slopes in total.
