Gourette resort
At 1,350 m above sea level, the family resort located south and its village are suitable for many outdoor activities.
The Gourette circus is classified as a landscape for its natural beauty. Dominated by the silhouette of the Pic de Ger (2,613 m), and facing the mythical Col d'Aubisque, it is one of the most remarkable Pyrenean panoramas.
Important winter sports resort, Gourette owes its existence in 1903 with the first ski runs of the Pyrenees. The station was born in 1930 with the construction of the 1st Hotel. It was not until the late 1960s that urban model real estate construction began.
