so a car is essential. These can be hired locally or at the airport.
The nearest ferry port is Santander in Northern Spain, about 3-4 hours drive. The journey
from the channel ports takes between 9 and 12 hours, with Caen being probably
the nearest of them.

Ski the Pyrenees:
Le Sommet is an ideal
location for sampling the winter delights of a skiing holiday in the Pyrenees.
Visitors can enjoy some of the longest continuous pistes in Europe, which are well equipped and have both north
and south facing slopes so that the ski quality is good in all weather
conditions.
About an hour from the
mountain slopes, and less from the cross country areas, we provide a
comfortable haven after a strenuous day that will suit those families and
groups where not everyone wishes to take to the snow and who prefer quiet
and comfort to the frenzy and noise of apres ski activities. Equipment
hire and lift passes are all available from the skin centres at quite
reasonable prices.
