40 slopes open this Monday in Font-Romeu Pyrénées 2000

#PYRÉNÉES-ORIENTALES – This weekend, the Font-Romeu Pyrénées 2000 resort was the only one in the Neiges Catalanes to open its area with two slopes. And the results are more than satisfactory since the resort did not expect such a successful opening. More than 800 people rushed to the resort on Saturday. With a snow depth of 40 cm, the entire Airelles sector was opened. Thus, 12 slopes were passable this Sunday, 3 on Pyrénées 2000 and 9 on Font-Romeu. This Monday, the opening will extend to the northern slopes. The ski area will therefore go from 2 to 40 slopes in the space of three days. Be careful though, because the snow still expected this Monday will be accompanied by freezing temperatures: -7°. And because of the wind, a feeling of -15°!
