Discover Peyresourde-Balestas

Peyresourde-Balestas lies at an altitude of around 1,600 metres on the Hautes-Pyrénées side of the resort and offers sweeping views of the Pyrenean range. There are several options for your trip: scenic flights from the Altiport, numerous routes in the bike park, and leisure activities with Nordic dogs in the Balestas forest. The activities vary in format, duration and season.

Altitude and scenic flights

The Peyragudes Air Club offers scenic flights from Peyresourde Balestas Altiport. Flights are designed for one to three passengers and last no more than 30 minutes. This maximum duration can help you coordinate your flight with other plans for the day. Availability and booking arrangements may change; check them before making plans.

Bike park and seasonal lifts

The Peyragudes Bike Park offers numerous routes between Loudenvielle and Peyragudes, as well as on the Agudes and Peyresourde sides of the resort. The Vallée Skyvall lift and the Privilège and Lac chairlifts can be used to access the routes. The place names and lift names give you specific points of reference for choosing the area and relevant infrastructure for planning your rides. Lift operations and pass conditions are seasonal. Take both into account when choosing a route for your travel dates, and check the current information in advance.

Activities with Nordic dogs

The Sherpa base in the Balestas forest offers leisure activities and has 40 Nordic dogs. For Cani-Kart, a team of ten to twelve dogs pulls an all-terrain vehicle. Cani-Rando is a guided hike with Nordic dogs; dog-pulled children’s trailers, known as sulkys, are available for small children. An educational visit to the park focuses on the world of sled dogs. The activities differ in how you take part: riding in a pulled vehicle, moving together on a guided hike, or visiting with a focus on learning. Booking and age requirements, as well as visit arrangements, may change; check them for your plans.

Stroller rental at the Maison de Peyragudes

There is also a specific option to consider when planning with a stroller: all-terrain strollers can be rented at the Maison de Peyragudes. Availability may vary by season. If you need to rent one, check for your travel dates so you can include this as a separate item in your plans.

Timing and seasonal planning

You can compare the activities for your trip according to their timing: the scenic flight lasts no more than 30 minutes, bike park lift operations and pass conditions are seasonal, and the Sherpa base offers leisure activities year-round. If an activity is the main reason for your trip, take these differences into account when choosing your travel dates. This can help you tailor your search for hotels in Peyresourde-Balestas to your planned stay.
