Pyrenees Holidays - Madame Vacances

France is a country of regions and of contrasts. That applies to its skiing as much as it does to its cuisine or culture. So don't just file the Pyrenees under 'mountains' and expect an identical out-of-the-box Alpine experience above the snow line. The Pyrenees separate France from Spain, in the far south-west of France. The border actually runs through the mountains and there are many ski resorts in both the French and Spanish Pyrenees. All of the 40 or so Pyrenean ski stations attract both Spanish and French winter sports fans and most people are happy hopping between languages.
