Peyragudes, one resort, 3 villages The best of the Louron Valley, summer and winter

The two high altitude villages of the Peyragudes resort are now connected to the village of Loudenvielle in the valley. Skyvall, the valley lift, thus allows you to connect the Haute Vallée du Louron to Peyragudes in less than 9 minutes. In winter, access to the Peyragudes ski slopes is very easy with a gondola ride without taking the road. The resort is connected to the most typical village in the South-West, Loudenvielle.

Village of Loudenvielle in the valley

Loudenvielle, a charming and characterful village made of old stones and lively alleys, is backed by the sparkling Lake of Génos-Loudenvielle. You can enjoy its naturally warm waters at Balnéa, its shops, its activities, its Arixo cinema and its Valgora sports and culture complex.

It offers a deep and soothing atmosphere to share special moments with family and friends. Its exceptional and preserved nature, its terroir with generous flavors and aromas as well as its multitude of activities make it possible to offer friendly mountain experiences.

Village of Peyresourde in resort

Nestled at an altitude of 1600 metres, Peyresourde, literally “Deaf Stone”, is the name of the slope located in the Hautes-Pyrénées of the Peyragudes resort.

Village of Agudes at altitude

4 kilometers from the town of Gouaux-de-Larboust, is the village of Agudes, in the department of Haute-Garonne. It is the second slope of the resort.

4-season activities

Thanks to Skyvall, all the activities in the valley are easily accessible and add to the many possibilities offered by the Peyragudes resort.

In winter , apart from skiing and multi-sport activities possible at the Peyragudes ski resort and its 65 km of slopes, 19 ski lifts between 1600m and 2400m, a snow guarantee thanks to 270 snow cannons and its 10 kilometres of marked and free circuits await people wishing to go snowshoeing or ski touring.

Many original activities can also be practiced such as the zip line. It is accessed by the Snow White carpet, then Let's go for 335 meters of sliding, suspended at 8 m high, in 3 successive sections to finish with a quick flight. We also have fun on airboard, an inflatable sled with a fairing that we practice lying flat on our stomachs and which allows us to make beautiful curves, or the snake gliss and its 15 sleds assembled together for descents with family or friends.

It is also possible to rent SNOOCs (a machine between a Snowscoot and a sled with a very low centre of gravity), a winter sports activity that makes skiing and discovering the mountains accessible. You can start on a green slope or go accompanied by an instructor for a descent at the end of the day with an instructor from the resort, guaranteed skiing sensations without necessarily knowing how to ski (SNOOC rented with a chairlift ride).

Not forgetting igloo building from 4 years old or wild runs on the only Pumptrack in the Pyrenees at the foot of the slopes or in Loudenvielle, tarmac courses, fun on skateboards, scooters or BMX.

In summer and winter, the Louron Valley reveals its wonders throughout walks, hikes, mountain bike descents, scooter outings, walks along the lake, tours of Génos Loudenvielle lake... Outdoor activities to enjoy as a couple, with family or friends...
