A family resort

Winter fun for all ages

La Mongie is a family resort. You can come with children and fully enjoy winter sports with them. For toddlers (between one and five years old), Les Marmottes daycare centre looks after them and offers them adapted activities inside where it’s warm, while the parents explore the ski slopes with peace of mind. This service is provided mainly for a half-day, but hourly rates are also available. We recommend that you book ahead as capacity is limited to about 15 children.

For children who are a bit older, the snow garden and various ski schools allow them to learn how to ski at their own pace before setting off on the powder safely. Recreational areas and a toboggan run will allow them to have fun and make their first unforgettable memories in the mountains.The Marmotte route combines over 11 km of blue and green trails and connects the resorts of Barèges and La Mongie. Perfect for a family skiing or snowboarding trip.
