## About Ax 3 Domaines

Ax 3 Domaines rises above Ax-les-Thermes, a spa town whose hot springs have been in use since Roman times — the open-air *Bassin des Ladres* in the main square is free and full of locals soaking their feet.

A gondola climbs from the town centre to the three linked sectors. The climb to the resort is a Tour de France classic, which tells you what the road is like.

## Where lessons start

Learning terrain up at the plateau rather than in the town, so the day starts with the gondola. The thermal baths afterwards are a very good argument for a family week.

## Getting there

Toulouse is around an hour and a half, and Ax-les-Thermes has a railway station on the Toulouse–Barcelona line — one of the few Pyrenean resorts reachable without a car.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I reach Ax 3 Domaines without a car?

Yes — one of the few Pyrenean resorts where that works. Ax-les-Thermes has a railway station on the Toulouse–Barcelona line, and the gondola to the ski area leaves from the town centre. Toulouse is about an hour and a half by road.

### Where are the beginner slopes in Ax 3 Domaines?

Up on the plateau, not in the town, so the day starts with the gondola ride. The reward afterwards is the thermal baths: the open-air Bassin des Ladres in the main square is free.
