Peyragudes

Located in the heart of the Central Pyrenees, Peyragudes ski resort was founded in 1988 from the merger of two stations from the Snow Plan of the 1970s in France: Peyresourde and Les Agudes.

This modern resort extends over 1,500 hectares in an idyllic mountain environment in the centre of the French Pyrenees. Its slopes are at an altitude of between 1,600 and 2,400 meters.

They are found between the two sides of a mountain that dominate the valleys of Louron (Hautes-Pyrénées) and Larboust (Haute-Garonne). Peyragudes announces an early opening on November the 30th. Summer 2021 under the flag of innovation. Peyragudes is also “Zen Power“.

Sustainable development of the Peyragudes ski resort

THE PEYRAGUDES ski resort EMBRACES MODERNITY BY COMBINING TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

Since 22 January, the resort has been using a hybrid groomer to groom its slopes. In addition to being easy to drive, this groomer considerably reduces its CO2 emissions, it does not make as much noise as a classic groomer… Everything is there!

This groomer, powered by a 6-cylinder Mercedes 12.8-litre engine with 400 horsepower, reduces fuel consumption while eliminating the risks associated with hydraulic transmission systems and possible pollution caused by oil leaks. Very technical terms, but good to know! All this reduces fuel consumption by 20 to 25%, and in the world we live in, that’s not insignificant!

The resort has not finished with modernity, it even has a new cable car!
