One of the oldest (and sunniest) ski resorts in France, Font-Romeu began attracting affluent French holiday makers in search of fresh air and mountain views in the early 20th century. Today it’s home to 58km of pretty, tree-lined pistes (mostly easy to intermediate) and it also has over 100km of cross-country tracks. It’s small compared to Andorran resorts but it packs a lot of rustic mountain charm, especially if you stay in Font Romeu itself, which features a 12th century church. The other option is to stay closer to the pistes in the more purpose-built Pyrenees 2000.
