Ax-les-Thermes is located south of Foix and Montsegur, near the Spanish border (and close to Andorra).

It is an attractive 'mountain' spa town that is popular in the summer as a base for walking and other outdoor activities, and during the winter as a ski resort. There is a great deal to enjoy and discover in the surrounding mountains and valleys, with some very fine scenery, hikes for all abilities, and many small lakes to discover between the high peaks.

Ax-les-Thermes - spa town

The town is also well known as a spa town. The open air 'Bassin des Ladres' is the centre of the thermal action, with the therapeutic powers of the waters being recognised for at lest 750 years, and probably back to Roman times.

Originally the hospital was built around the spa to help cure those who had contracted leprosy. Nowadays rheumatism and breathing difficulties are more common ailments to be treated. The sulphurous waters emerge at temperatures up to 77° celsius, the warmest spa water in the Pyrenees (there are many sources here, most at lesser temperatures).

Ax-3 Domaine - ski resort

Ax-3-Domaines ski resort is above the town and features more than 70kms of pistes - the ski region includes Bonascre, les Campels and Saquet.

The location is a popular ski resort with families. It also attracts many outdoor enthusiasts during the summer season, with children's activities etc available.
