desole,mon francais est tres pauvre.
J’aimerais faire un skirando en l’Encantados region de les Pyrenee Espagnol. Est ce que quelq’un recommende un bon magasin en la Nord d’Espagna pour achter l’equipe skirando? Vetements, piolet etc.

I’ll repeat that in English!
I want to do a ski mountaineering trip in the Encantados area of the Spanish Pyrenees. Can anyone recommend a shop in the north of Spain where I can but gear.

I am very new to ski touring so any tips on touring in the Pyrenees would be gratefully received. E.g. which is the best are for easy tours? What is the best source of information on avalanche conditions and weather in the Pyrenees?

Thanks

John

You should try http://www.telemark-pyrenees.com/f_index.htm. The shop is in France (Ax les Thermes) but owned by an English man. They often have bargains.

Another recomendation for TelemarkPyrenees althought there are shops in Andorra & Benasque. The Encantats is a lovely little group of hills, well worth a visit. If you want some more ideas about skiing in the Pyrenees (& can read Spanish) have a look at « Pireneos en esquis » by Enric Faura & Jordi Longàs - a coffee table style book describing some 150 tours of varying length.

Ah bon, nous sommes sur un site dit francophone,

Bon ski

You can find a big moutain shop in Benasque. I was very impressed by the quantity of equipments available there.
Good luck
