Try these two websites: for La Mongie http://www.tourmalet.fr/eng/ and for St Lary http://www.saintlary.com/actu5-a.htm    We use them for snow conditions and webcams etc but I think there's also a section on accommodation. Pat.

Hi

There's no B & B at La Mongie, but the hotels can be very reasonably priced.  Our friends are going up there for a few days in Feb., to meet some people from England and they're paying 54euros for Dinner, B & B  per day.  Not the prettiest resort when the snow isn't there, it's absolutely fine and a lovely trip up in the winter.  Plenty of skiing for a few days and a whole line of good restaurants/cafes at the bottom of the slopes.  Car parking is obvious when you get there.  You drive straight into one on your left, as the very central one is usually full.  Either way, you're out of your car and on the slopes within a few minutes.  No crowds.

Hello,

I do recommend snow chains into the resort.  Also sometimes it gets very busy (if there's been a good dump of snow!) and cars are parked along the road into the resort and buses pick up to drop people etc.  Best to leave nice and early in the morning!

We went skiing there last year.  Actually it turned out to be the worst ski holiday we ever had  - our friend collided with a snowboarder on the 2nd day and ended up with multiple fractures.  His leg still hasn't healed after 11 months.  Resort is fine but beware of snowboarders who jump out of nowhere!! 

Enjoy your skiing
