Peyragudes, Mountain ski resort in Gouaux-de-Larboust, France.
The ski area extends between 1600 and 2400 meters altitude, featuring 60 kilometers of marked slopes across east and west-facing mountain sides.
Two separate ski areas, Peyresourde and Les Agudes, merged in 1988 to create Peyragudes, expanding the available terrain for winter sports enthusiasts.
The village of Gouaux-de-Larboust maintains traditional mountain architecture with stone houses, wooden elements, and characteristic slate roofs.
The resort provides 17 ski lifts, including modern chairlifts and gondolas, serving 51 runs categorized from beginner green to advanced black slopes.
Olympic athlete Ingrid Lafforgue, who won the 1970 World Championship slalom in Val Gardena, trained on these slopes with her twin sister.

The French Alps encompass several hundred kilometers of ski slopes spread across various mountain ranges. Ski areas such as the Three Valleys, linking Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens, or Paradiski, connecting La Plagne and Les Arcs, provide extensive networks suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In Chamonix, the Mont Blanc massif offers technical descents, while high-altitude resorts like Tignes and Les Deux Alpes ensure snow cover thanks to their glaciers. Facilities include efficient ski lifts and simplified access from the valleys. Some resorts like Avoriaz stand out for their car-free organization, while others like Val d'Isère and Alpe d'Huez attract skiers with their significant elevation changes and long runs. These destinations enable winter sports from December to April, with opportunities for summer skiing on certain glaciers.
From high-altitude forests to peaks overlooking Spain, the Pyrenees possess a raw charm that stands out. Less flashy than the Alps, but more human and vibrant. Skiing takes place amid pines and valleys, sometimes facing the sea, sometimes in powder silence. The resorts maintain their mountain spirit: wooden chalets, small bars at the base of slopes, ski schools where everyone eventually gets to know each other. From Grand Tourmalet to Baqueira-Beret, from Saint-Lary to Catalan plateaus, each area has its own light, rhythm, and accent. Some invite sporty skiing, others Nordic strolling. And when evening falls, with hot wine and the snow gradually fading, one understands why the Pyrenees are among the mountains that are unforgettable.
