Bourg-d'Oueil
Vallée d'Oueil, Haute-Garonne
Bourg-d'Oueil is a tiny village ski area at the far end of the green Vallée d'Oueil above Luchon, created in 1968. It has three drag lifts and short, gentle runs for beginners. The resort runs on modest resources and opens only when there is natural snow. It suits families with children who want to learn to ski in peace and quiet.
