Driving to Peyragudes gives you the freedom to explore the beautiful Louron and Larboust valleys at your own pace. The resort is easy to reach by road: from the A64 motorway (La Pyrénéenne), take exit 16 (Lannemezan), then follow the D929 towards Arreau.
The resort has large free car parks on both sides of the mountain (Peyresourde and Les Agudes), right at the foot of the slopes. If you're staying in the valley in Loudenvielle, there is a large car park at the bottom of the Skyvall gondola, allowing you to head straight up to the resort without moving your car. Free shuttles also run between the outlying car parks and the main snow fronts.
