Our view on skiing in Font Romeu
Font Romeu ski holidays are not on the radar yet outside of France and the Catalan Spanish border area largely because many skiers tend to head for the large ski carousels year after year such as the Portes du Soleil or The 3 Valleys.
Whilst the ski area is relatively small, skiing in Font Romeu is fantastic for beginners and early intermediates with wide tree lined and gentle pistes and minimal queues. At a fraction of the cost of the French Alps, skiing at Font Romeu is good value and ideal for family ski holidays.
