COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Toulouse Blagnac Airport to Saint-Lary
Toulouse Airport to Saint-Lary follows the western Pyrenean approach through Lannemezan, rather than the Ariège route used for Ax-les-Thermes and Andorra. Public transport combines the airport connection to Toulouse Matabiau, a train to Lannemezan and liO bus 963 into the Aure valley. Saint-Lary-Soulan village is below the ski accommodation at Pla d’Adet. Choose the village or mountain plateau before comparing transport times: an arrival in the village still needs the correct uplift or road connection.
Specify Saint-Lary village, Pla d’Adet 1700 or another booked address. The village gondola/cable car is useful only within its operating hours and luggage rules.

Skiing in Saint-Lary: areas, altitude and pistes
Explore the Saint-Lary resort guide →
Saint-Lary combines a traditional valley village with skiing above it at Pla d’Adet, Espiaube and the higher domain. Staying in the village gives a different arrival and daily uplift pattern from lodging on the mountain. A coach to Saint-Lary-Soulan is therefore only part of the plan for a slopeside address. The advertised piste total describes the whole domain rather than the terrain beside one accommodation base.
Which ski area should you choose?
Pla d’Adet 1700
Main mountain accommodation and learning base above the valley.
Espiaube 1900
A separate mountain entrance and access into the wider domain.
Higher Saint-Lary terrain
Longer outings need the correct pass, open lifts and a return plan.
Piste difficulty: Pla d’Adet has accessible learning facilities; higher sectors add intermediate and steeper routes. Match the ski-school meeting point to your lodging and check the return uplift before setting off across the domain.
After the transfer: Specify Saint-Lary village, Pla d’Adet 1700 or another booked address. The village gondola/cable car is useful only within its operating hours and luggage rules.
Piste totals describe the area named above; they are not a count of runs. Lift access and open pistes depend on the date and weather. Official piste map ↗ Resort details ↗
