Sports and leisure activities Gourette

In winter, nothing beats the experience of snowshoeing to conquer the mountains. Accompanied by experienced guides, you can venture out into the wilderness, far from the marked trails at Gourette and Col de l'Aubisque. We offer a range of outings adapted to your level: First Steps, Family Special, Half Day, Nordic Walking, offering a complete range of options. An amazing experience to try is the Nocturne, which takes place on an easy route, offering the chance to discover the valley from a whole new angle.

In the Ossau valley, canyoning spots are numerous and popular in summer, offering magnificent sites. Then, with the arrival of the first cold spells, these spots sometimes become adorned with ice! Experienced canyoning enthusiasts can take on the icy walls with special equipment. For a first experience, the mid-range mountains, with their low temperatures and little snow, are ideal terrain for an introduction to canyoning. The seasons transform the experience, offering enthusiasts a year-round opportunity.

At an altitude of 1,400 metres on the slopes of the Col d'Aubisque, the Gourette resort offers a 14-hectare ski area specially designed for beginners, ensuring their safety and enjoyment. Families and children alike appreciate the gentle slopes and playful facilities, such as the SnakeGliss, a descent on interlocking sledges forming a giant snake. Gourette, surrounded by peaks rising to 2,500 metres, offers a majestic setting for snow sports enthusiasts.

The ascent of the Peak of Pre by the Coutchets is a real winter mountaineering race, an impossible climb… or almost to nirvana! (indispensable: learn about snow quality and possibly take a high mountain guide)
