Hi Brucie, I'm trying to org a family group to El Tarter from Ireland mid-March. I've a son abroad who wants to join us and plans to join us in Toulouse where we land. Do you know would it be much of a problem or expense to get a transfer from Toulouse to El Tarter if there's no seat on our buses - the travel company can't guarantee a seat?

Hi Skipaddy. No problems with that. Local bus company run transfers from Toulouse airport to resorts. 64Euro return. Link below.(is that allowed Admin?)

Good day Brucie,
that info and link re transfer from Toulouse is greatly appreciated - thank you sir! By the way, from your extensive experience, what are the chances of decent snow in Grandvalira through mid-March?

Last few seasons have had great conditions Mid March. And by the look of the next weeks forecast(and the snow falling outside my window as I type), I cant see snow being a problem in the near future!

Having said that, there are a couple of really good equipment shops in the village, with a wide variety of goggles etc. You might find just what you're looking for.


Thought it would be the case - 15 years since I was in Pas (think I left my liver there so may ski over and collect it from the Underground)

Cheers Brucie, will look you up in 10 days

You will have a choice of livers in the Underground!!

Mountain closed today. Very stormy and due to continue into the week. Will be epic when this clears!

Well, the storm has finally passed and the sun is shining. Looking forward to an epic day here. I'll report back later on conditions at the top.
