Frequently asked questions about Les Angles

Where is Les Angles?

Les Angles is in Pyrénées-Orientales, France, with the base at 1600 m and the top at 2400 m.

When does Les Angles open?

Les Angles 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 6, 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/les-angles.

When does Les Angles close?

Les Angles is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on March 29, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2400 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/les-angles.

How much snow is there in Les Angles 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 Les Angles daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-angles, and the live cameras at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/les-angles. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2400 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Les Angles?

Between 1600 and 2400 metres, a vertical drop of 800 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 1600 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Les Angles report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-angles.

How many kilometres of pistes does Les Angles have?

Les Angles has 55 km of pistes and 20 lifts, between 1600 and 2400 m of altitude.

Where can I rent skis in Les Angles?

On Caranva you book the full kit for Les Angles — skis, boots and poles, or a snowboard if you prefer — at https://www.caranvasports.com/products/ski-rental-les-angles: you pick the dates and give your height, weight, shoe size and level, and the gear is waiting assembled with the bindings set to those figures. You pay online, you skip the sizing counter, and you can swap the gear in the shop if something does not fit. The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.

Can I watch Les Angles on a webcam?

Yes. The live Les Angles webcams, with piste conditions and the snow report, are at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/les-angles.

Which ski resorts are near Les Angles?

In the same valley or the next one: Font-Romeu (26 km of pistes, up to 2250 m) and Formiguères (25 km of pistes, up to 2150 m). Comparing their top altitudes helps when snowfall is scarce: the ones that top out higher tend to open earlier and hold on longer at the end of the season.
