## About Peyragudes

Peyragudes is built across a ridge with one side in the Aure valley and the other in the Louron, which gives it two aspects and two sets of conditions on the same lift pass.

Its altiport is the one from the opening sequence of *Tomorrow Never Dies*, and the runway doubles as a piste — an unusual thing to ski down.

## Where lessons start

Two aspects means a local instructor can move the lesson to whichever side has the better snow and light that morning — worth more than it sounds in Pyrenean weather.

## Getting there

Toulouse is around two hours, Tarbes about an hour and a half.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does Peyragudes have two sides?

It is built across a ridge, with one face in the Aure valley and the other in the Louron, both on the same lift pass. That gives two aspects and two sets of conditions, so a local instructor can move the lesson to whichever side has the better snow and light that morning, which is worth a lot in Pyrenean weather.
