The Les Angles ski resort also plays a part thanks to its partners.
Omnisports club
The Skiing Club of Les Angles was created in 1966 on the initiative of a group of enthusiasts including Paul Samson, the Mayor and founder of the resort two years earlier.
Since its creation, it has trained young athletes from the commune and residents of the Pyrénées Orientales and neighbouring departments.
In 2009 the Les Angles Omnisports Club brought together the Skiing, Snowboarding and Disabled Skiing sections. It offers more than 160 children aged 4 to 20 the chance to thrive in all the categories of snow sports.
This is the ambition that drives the members and partners of the Les Angles Omnisports Club.

By dint of determination, she learnt to walk again and returned to the sport, this time in the disabled snowboarding category.
In 2014 she won a place in the French team and took part in the Paralympic Games in Sochi, at which she won a superb silver medal, and she was decorated as Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite by the President of the Republic.
Since then, she has excelled in her two favourite disciplines (Banked Slalom and Boardercross) and continues to shine on the roof of the world, as she won a gold medal in Snowboard Cross in Beijing in 2022.
