Discover the many activities our beautiful Louron valley has to offer!
The Louron valley offers a veritable festival of activities in all seasons. Terrestrial activities: in summer, you can hike on numerous marked trails and enjoy trail routes adapted to every level. There are also climbing walls, mountain bike and downhill scooter courses, and dog trail. There’s also mini-golf, paintball, axe throwing, tree climbing and quad biking.
The winter season is more suited to snow sports, snowshoeing and dog sledding. Aerial activities : 2 paragliding schools let you discover the valley from the air, and the resort of Peyragudes is equipped with a Tyrolienne course. Water activities: inflatable constructions on the Loudenvielle lake, via ferrata, rafting, canyoning, not forgetting Balnéa, the balneotherapy center.
Highlighted Activites !
Since 2018, it has been developing in the spirit of a trail center. Marked by a mountain topography, the circuits evolve between forests and mountain pastures, from 1000 meters to 2200 meters altitude.
You can call on the advice of qualified instructors at the valley’s various mountain bike schools, or rent a bike on site at one of the partner stores. And to round off the day’s riding, what could be better than a session on one of the 3 pumptracks?
Practical services are available to mountain bikers: mountain bike shuttles, ski lifts, mountain bike information at the Tourist Office, etc.
The mountain biking area is now internationally recognized, with the organization of the Enduro World Series.
In the TRAIL area, the valley offers joggers 11 marked trail-running circuits of varying levels: 5 green, 4 blue, 1 orange (vertical course) and 1 red, ranging from 8 km to 24 km.
For the more energetic, there are 3 unmarked trails: 2 red and 1 black, ranging from 20 km to 38 km (including a 2-day trail that takes you to Spain!), all of which can be downloaded from the free Louron Bike and Trail app, which will provide you with all the information you need for your sporting stay in the Louron Valley. You’ll find live updates on the opening status of each trail, as well as information on hunting. You’ll also be able to compare your sporting prowess with your friends by taking part in challenges!
For those who have succumbed to the Gravel craze, there’s something for everyone, with trails to suit all tastes and offering wild spaces with exceptional views. The trails are unmarked. You’ll find a panoramic map of the routes at the Loudenvielle starting point, and all GPS tracks can be downloaded from the portal!
In winter, there’s something for everyone. In the heart of our wonderful Pyrenees, you can discover or rediscover our different ski areas: Peyragudes, Val Louron, Luchon Superbagnères, or Saint-Lary Soulan. You can try your hand at skiing and snowboarding, tobogganing, yooning, snake gliding, airboarding, ski touring or snowshoeing, dog sledding or snow grooming, snowscooting, fat biking, speed riding… in short, you name it!
