Skiing from Pau: Gourette or Artouste?

Two resorts in the Ossau valley for a day in the mountains, with practical checks before leaving Pau.

Gourette: the straightforward choice

Gourette is the easiest option for a classic ski day. Check access and current conditions on the official resort website.

Artouste: a different mountain setting

Artouste offers a more intimate high-valley atmosphere. Compare snow cover, open lifts and road conditions before deciding.

Passes and equipment

Prices vary by date and age. Check the current official lift-pass prices and reserve equipment with an operator listed by the resort.

Before you go: Check the weather, snow report, open roads and equipment availability the evening before. Use Inforoute 64.
