Gourette

Pyrénées- Atlantiques

Altitude : 1400 - 2450 m

An ever closer to nature resort... From the pistes design to the ultra-modern equipments, everything in Gourette has been thought out for everyone to be at the heart of a quality mountain environment... The most recent fittings help to that : reforestation, new planting of local species, different types of pines, new sawing of grass seed on the pistes... one of the first resort to be ISO 140001/Environmental Management Systems certified.
New in 2009:
* Le Portillo residence: 60 four-stars flats (private indoor swimming pool with children pool, Jacuzzi, fitness room, lounge with fireplace, games room, laundry room and underground park place).
* Belembra VVF club offering 160 living spaces entirely refurbished and redecorated facing South.
* Creation of Le Serpentin green piste with warranted snow cover, that links the Bezou plateau with the La Balade piste.
* 10 devices for automatically provoking avalanches (Gazex) installed on the Péne-Médaa massif and in the Péne-Blanque sector, for a greater security on the skiing domain.
