    • Artouste, the panoramic ski resort of the Béarn Pyrenees

      Nestled at an altitude of 1,500 meters in the Ossau Valley, in Béarn, the Artouste ski resort seduces visitors as much by its authentic charm as by its spectacular setting. Less well-known than some of the larger Pyrenean resorts, it nevertheless offers a unique experience, combining skiing, breathtaking panoramas and a friendly atmosphere.

      The south-facing ski area benefits from generous sunshine and a breathtaking view of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, the region's emblem.

      Ski and have fun without breaking the bank in Béarn!

      The Artouste resort, 25 minutes from Laruns, is the cheapest in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

      4 sectors, 27 km of slopes, 20 runs amidst snow-covered fir trees, mainly suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers . Skiing enthusiasts will find a pleasant playground here, far from the crowds of the big resorts.

      The area is accessible by a 15-minute cable car ride from the village of Fabrèges, adding to the charm of the experience.

      Accessible, peaceful, and authentic, Artouste is the perfect destination for those seeking a blend of mountains, nature, and tranquility. Whether for a day in the great outdoors or a longer stay, it remains one of the best-kept secrets in the Pyrenees.

    The experience was worth it. Everything was very well organized, with short wait times both to board the cable car and to start the train ride. Just enough time to take some photos of the impressive views above. The trip there and back was exciting. Perhaps the lake itself at the destination was what fascinated me the least. (Although it's also beautiful.) But what I want to highlight above all else is the magnificent treatment and kindness of the French staff who run everything. They joked around and had a great atmosphere with the Spanish people. It's appreciated.

    An extraordinary experience. While vacationing in the region, we don't regret taking the train. While the price may seem excessive, we feel we got our money's worth. Magnificent scenery, a mountain discovery worth experiencing. We recommend it.
