The ski season in Peyragudes starts this coming Saturday, December 16, with 50% of its ski area open. The new precipitations predicted for these hours, and a booking rate of more than 75% occupancy in the accommodations of the Louron Valley allows to augur a good Christmas hotel offer.
New this year, and following Peyragudes' efforts to keep the number of vehicles on the road to a minimum, a 92-people electric bus, the first of its kind in the Pyrenees, is being launched this year. From now on, everyone staying in the Balestas ski area and those arriving by car on the Peyresourde side will use free electric shuttles to reach the slopes.
This type of vehicle is currently 50% more expensive than a traditional combustion vehicle, but the company wants to build on the process of carbon footprint reduction that began 10 years ago with the shuttle buses to avoid the need to reduce the carbon footprint.The company wants to build on the process of reducing the carbon footprint that began 10 years ago with shuttle buses to avoid people driving up from the valley, as well as the opening of the SkyVall gondola lift that takes passengers from the village of Loudenvielle to the foot of the Peyragudes ski slopes.
The electric bus is a pilot test. If the result is good, it will be duplicated next year on the Agudes side for the 2024-2025 season.
During school holidays, a free bus will also take skiers from Luchon to Peyragudes.
Another new feature for this winter is the installation of 60 state-of-the-art snowmaking cannons that are even more energy and water efficient. These devices come to reinforce the skiable connections between the 3 ski areas.
