Are you on vacation in Gourette and looking for suitable accommodation? What could be better than renting a chalet in Gourette and enjoying the resort like a local?
Located in the commune of Les Eaux-Bonnes, the ski resort of Gourette is a small family resort in the Pyrenees. Comprising thirty-nine slopes, with a fairly even split between beginner and advanced runs, Gourette also boasts a magnificent ski area, with breathtaking scenery.
Thanks to this magical Pyrenean setting, Gourette is also a popular destination in summer. In addition to hiking and biking, visitors can enjoy mountain biking, trail running, Nordic walking and climbing. Finally, close to the Col de l’Aubisque, regularly climbed by racers, Gourette is also a favorite destination for Tour de France fans.

Chalet advantages: a quiet location in the heart of nature
If you want to be as close to nature as possible, then you can rent this chalet in Gourette with your eyes closed! The accommodation is a real old-fashioned sheepfold, a little lost in nature, where you can spend a few quiet days breathing in the fresh mountain air.
While the spirit of the sheepfold of yesteryear is still present, the accommodation has fortunately been modernized since then. Not to mention having electricity and drinking water, which is rare for sheepfolds, the interior is modern, with quality fixtures and fittings so that you won’t want for anything.
We particularly like the fireplace in the living room. And the view from the terrace is superb! Last but not least, we can accommodate up to eight people.
3. 6-person apartment

Budget: €€
Chalet bonus: central village location
Located in a chalet in Gourette, this apartment sleeps six people. With its stone steps and small garden, the exterior of the chalet is very appealing. We can already imagine ourselves at the outdoor table on a summer’s evening!
Inside, on the first floor of the chalet to which travelers only have access, the decor is sober and not crazy. But this doesn’t stop it being equipped and furnished to a high standard, making for the most enjoyable stay in this beautiful resort.
4. Chalets with mountain views
