Les Angles is great for skin during the winter. The gondola is open during the summer also and you can mountain bike down if you are brave (hire bikes from one of the many shops in Les Angles), use this as a starting point for walking or simply go to the lovely cafe at the top and relax in one of their deck chairs.
