Frequently asked questions about La Pierre Saint-Martin

Where is La Pierre Saint-Martin?

La Pierre Saint-Martin is in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France, with the base at 1650 m and the top at 2153 m.

When does La Pierre Saint-Martin open?

La Pierre Saint-Martin has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around December 13, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/la-pierre-saint-martin.

When does La Pierre Saint-Martin close?

La Pierre Saint-Martin is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 19, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2153 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/la-pierre-saint-martin.

How much snow is there in La Pierre Saint-Martin and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The La Pierre Saint-Martin daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/la-pierre-saint-martin, and the live cameras at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/la-pierre-saint-martin. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2153 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in La Pierre Saint-Martin?

Between 1650 and 2153 metres, a vertical drop of 503 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1650 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the La Pierre Saint-Martin report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/la-pierre-saint-martin.
