Mijanes is a fantastic small family ski resort in the beautiful canton of Donezan. The height of the resort means that it can suffer from lack of snow - but when it does snow, you're in for a treat. I am no expert but have been skiing for over twenty years and prefer this resort to anywhere else I have visited, as do the kids. Polite, caring, quiet, compact and cheap, it is a resort the French want to keep to themselves, although the area does attract some Spanish from over the boarder. Imagine a tree clad mountainside with all facilities within 100m of the lifts, lift attendants who make the kids wear their glasses, equipment hirers who remember your favourite boots, and dearest lift pass costing 15 Euros per day. Bring on the winter! Bring on the Vin Chaud!
