Two villages in French Catalonia, Eyne and Saint Pierre dels Forcats, sharing an area on the flank of the Cambre d'Aze in the Cerdagne. The mountain is a glacial cirque, which gives the skiing a natural bowl shape, and the terrain runs from 1600 up to nearly 2400 metres with mostly intermediate runs and good sunshine. Eyne is known for its botanical valley, a protected reserve with an unusual concentration of plant species, and the whole Cerdagne is Catalan speaking with its own food. Font Romeu is close by on a separate ticket. Prices are low and the crowds are almost entirely regional.
