Optimal snow conditions #

A snowy episode at the end of January brought more than 50 centimeters of snow, thus increasing the skiable terrain for the enjoyment of snow enthusiasts. Additionally, a new snowfall is expected just before the arrival of the first holidaymakers from zone B. These conditions allow the N’PY network resorts, including Peyragudes, Piau, and Gourette, to offer quality slopes, perfect for skiing while enjoying a breathtaking landscape.

It is interesting to note that booking requests are on the rise. Thanks to the dedicated platform, over 13,000 beds are already in high demand, showing an occupancy rate of 87% for the first week of the holidays.
