Peyragudes ski resort

Peyragudes, a resort linked to the Louron valley by Skyvall

Who said the mountains were difficult to access? Since the summer of 2019, the Skyvall valley lift links the emblematic village of Loudenvielle in the Louron valley (900m) to the foot of the slopes and residences of Peyragudes (1600m) on the Peyresourde side. It allows the valley to considerably reduce its carbon footprint. Summer and winter alike, practice your favourite resort activities on dedicated altitude trails. With the mountain bike, paragliding or scooter passes, take your equipment with you and enjoy Skyvall all season long at a great price.

If your accommodation is in the hamlet of Balestas, a few hundred metres from the foot of the Peyresourde slopes, a shuttle bus will take you there without tiring you out and without obliging you to use the car again during your stay.

The reference in alpine skiing in the Louron valley

Express all your dreams of skiing with 60km of slopes spread over two sides up to 2400m altitude. Beginners are pampered with 2 dedicated areas to learn skiing or snowboarding serenely, away from experienced riders. For experts, 17 red runs, 4 black runs and a dedicated snowpark are on the menu. Whatever your level or style of skiing, access the slopes at full speed with 18 high-performance lifts, including 4 detachable chairlifts. With its high-quality natural snow cover, the resort of Peyragudes guarantees you optimal snow conditions all season long with 250 snow guns covering 50% of the domain.

UN ROOFTOP SUR L’ALTIBAR 007

En guise de clin d'œil au passage de James Bond à Peyragudes, l'Altibar 007 prend place ponctuellement à l'intersection des versants Agudes/Peyresourde au poste des Cimes. Avec ses transats et son DJ bar extérieur, l'Altibar 007 s'adapte à la météo avec un bar éphémère ouvert en priorité les week-ends et tous les jours de vacances scolaires. Cette année, l’Altibar 007 s’équipe d’un rooftop, un véritable toit terrasse pour dominer encore plus la Vallée du Louron et profiter d’un superbe panorama tout en dégustant une bière, un coca, un cocktail ou quelques gourmandises, le tout sur un transat et sous une couverture mise à disposition. Un moment de pose sur les pistes à vivre en famille ou avec des amis avant de repartir skier plein d’énergie !

Mythical ski slopes at high altitude

Pyrénées2vallées - Peyragudes also has atypical ski slopes to do absolutely! Discover the immaculate setting of the vallée blanche for a mythical descent away from the crowds. This trail takes you on a 5km long magical trip. The first few meters set the tone with a superb view of the Arboust valley. You then enter a real white paradise for a one-on-one session with an impeccable red slope. At the end of the descent, a free shuttle bus will take you back to the foot of the Agudes slopes. Don't miss the new "007" slope, a pretty blue 2760m long with a panoramic view of the resort and the Louron valley. The track ends directly at the station, very close to Altiport 007 which was used as a film location for "Tomorrow Never Dies" in 1997!

You have the possibility of passing through Luchon and the Agudes slope to discover the neighbouring department of Haute-Garonne. The Louron valley and its activities await you for a successful family holiday! In winter? Discover the village of Loudenvielle under the snow or try sled dogs. In summer? Swimming, paddle and canoeing on the lake of Génos-loudenvielle!

A wide choice of accommodation for your stay: 

The resort and its surroundings offer a wide range of accommodation options, whatever your number and wishes. If you are looking for a flat at the foot of the slopes to make the most of your ski holiday, the resorts of Peyresourde and Les Agudes offer a wide choice of rental accommodation. On both sides of the slopes you will find a number of restaurants, bars and shops to suit your needs.

Only a few hundred metres from the lifts on the Peyresourde side, the hamlet of Balestas offers more flexibility in the choice of accommodation. Houses and chalets are available for rent to suit the needs of large families and/or groups, in addition to flat accommodation. A shuttle bus will take you to the foot of the slopes without tiring you out or requiring you to use a car during your stay.

Finally, there are several villages scattered around the Col de Peyresourde. Although they are a little further away from the resorts, they also offer a good number of houses and flats for rent, often at a lower price.
