We are going on the yellow train and stopping off at Font-Romeu. We are not skiing but are wondering is there much else to do there? we have about 4 hours to look around.

Take the cable car from the town to Les Airelles and go on a dog sled ride
Eat a fondue or raclette in any of the mountain food restaurants.

Don't forget it is a good half hour walk up into town.So it is important to remember that when you make your plans. Also I think the cost is cheaper at the moment on the train.

A shuttle bus goes from the train station at Font Romeu up to the town, as far as I know, and it goes past the solar energy centre (Four Solaire) on the way. The centre is visitable.

Thank you everyone for your replies, handy to know that the town is half hour walk.
