The ski resort of Peyragudes is situated in the Luchonnais area of the Haute-Garonne department in the Pyrénées region. The lift served area extends from 1600 metres to 2400 metres. There are 45 km of lift served runs. There are 15 km of cross country trails. The resort features a snowpark. As with many other Pyrénéenian resorts, the ski lifts are of an excellent standard. A high speed six seater chair whisks skiers up from Peyresourde to the top of the station and from les Agudes there is a high speed quad.
The new high-speed six Sérias chair with a capacity of 2,500 skiers per hour offers direct access to the Agudes sector via the col de la Flamme. The resort has install 80 new snow canons bringing the total to 180 and the snowpark has been updated.
You may not have heard of Peyragudes but the chances are you've seen it as the savage beauty of the Peyresourde ski station doubled for an arms bazaar close to the Russian border in the pre-title sequence of the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. The resort name itself is a contraction of the villages of les Agudes and Peyresourde.
