What to do in Loudenvielle

The Skyvall in winter allows skiers to access the ski slopes of Peyragudes very easily and in a few minutes -slope Peyresourde- whatever the state of the road. In winter and summer, this valley lift is open to hikers, mountain bikers, paragliders and pedestrians, widening their playground.
