    • Ax-les-Thermes is mainly known for its thermal baths and its Ax 3 Domaines ski resort. The hot waters, with temperatures reaching 77°C, were mainly used to treat lepers in the Middle Ages. Its name, Bassin des Ladres, is a testament to this function and was built by the Count of Foix in the 13th century.

      Many spa guests come here every year to recharge their batteries, as the thermal baths treat rheumatism, respiratory problems and sciatica. Three establishments are known, namely Couloubret, Teich and Modèle. With nearly 70 springs, Ax-les-Thermes became one of the first major spa towns in France, starting in the 18th century.

      Ax-les-Thermes is also appreciated for its leisure activities, its casino and its theater as well as its numerous parks.

      The ski resort offers all its visitors magnificent panoramas of the Pyrenean valleys. 36 slopes are open and will delight young and old alike.

    The wait was incredibly long, even though there were only two of us. We asked for advice on easy, family-friendly hikes, and ended up on a not-so-easy hike to the Étang de Comte. We had asked about van access, and well, thanks, but it would have been suicide to drive up to the trailhead for the pond in a van because the road is steep and not suitable for vans, not to mention the limited parking at the end. In short, we were quite disappointed with the advice. As for fishing spots, well, you're on your own because you're tourists, we're not going to give you our favorite spots. We'll give you the federation's booklet and tell you to call the presidents and managers of the local fishing associations. And the smiles and welcoming atmosphere were nowhere to be seen. In short, we'll be back; perhaps it was just a long day.
