The valley is connected to Spain by the Aragnouet-Bielsa tunnel which is 20 km from Saint-Lary Soulan. The Pyrenean ski resort of Saint-Lary Soulan is a unique and magical place in and is composed of three smaller villages: - Saint-Lary village (830m) you will find the atmosphere of a real and authentic Pyrenean village. - Saint-Lary-1700 (Pla d'Adet) and Saint-Lary 1900 (Espiaube) have panoramic views over the Pyrenees, in winter they are the ideal place for ski enthusiasts. It's worth a note that with the new gondola from Saint Lary Village to Saint Lary 1700, the ski slopes are accessible in just 8 minutes.
