Start the year in style in the Pyrenees

January 28, 2026

The start of a new year sets the tone for everything that follows. In the Pyrenees, winter offers a rare kind of luxury: space, silence, and experiences that feel real. With Pyreneance, the mountains become more than a backdrop — they become a way to begin the year with intention, movement and meaning.

Pyreneance doesn’t sell generic winter holidays. Every experience is designed around authentic places they know deeply, guided by local experts, and shaped by the rhythm of the mountains themselves.

A different vision of luxury in the Pyrenees

Luxury in the Pyrenees isn’t about excess. It’s about access — to wild landscapes, preserved valleys and experiences that can’t be replicated elsewhere. Pyreneance focuses on human-scale adventures, far from mass tourism, where time slows and winter regains its true essence.

This approach makes the Pyrenees an ideal destination for travellers looking to start the year in style, without noise or crowds.

Snowshoeing Experiences in the Pyrenees

Snowshoeing is one of Pyreneance’s signature winter experiences. It’s the most natural way to explore the Pyrenees in winter, moving quietly through snowy forests and open plateaus.

Pic du Midi de Bigorre

Snowshoe outings around the Pic du Midi de Bigorre offer breathtaking winter scenery, with panoramic views over snow-covered peaks. These experiences are designed to be immersive yet accessible, perfect for reconnecting with nature at the beginning of the year.

Artouste & High Pyrenean Valleys

The Artouste area is another key destination proposed by Pyreneance for snowshoeing adventures. Its wide open spaces, frozen lakes and high-altitude landscapes create a powerful winter atmosphere, ideal for short breaks or extended stays.

Snowshoe & Wellness Stays

Pyreneance also offers snowshoeing stays combined with moments of relaxation and well-being. These experiences balance gentle physical activity with time to rest, making them ideal for travellers who want to begin the year grounded and refreshed.

Ski Touring & Freeride Adventures

For those who want to start the year with intensity and freedom, Pyreneance curates ski touring and freeride experiences in some of the most iconic areas of the Pyrenees.

Néouvielle Massif

The Néouvielle massif is a flagship destination for ski touring with Pyreneance. Known for its wild terrain and dramatic winter landscapes, it offers multi-day adventures with nights spent in mountain refuges.

This is winter for experienced mountain lovers seeking depth, effort and solitude.

Artouste & Spanish Pyrenees

Pyreneance also leads freeride and ski touring trips around Artouste and across the border in the Spanish Pyrenees, including Baqueira. These itineraries allow travellers to explore varied snow conditions and landscapes, always guided by professionals who know the terrain intimately.

Splitboard & Snowboard Experiences

Splitboarders and snowboarders will find carefully designed winter trips that combine ascent, descent and exploration. Pyreneance’s splitboard journeys take place in areas such as Néouvielle, Artouste and the surrounding Pyrenean valleys.

These trips are about flow, freedom and discovering lines far from crowded resorts.

Multi-Activity Winter Stays

For travellers who want variety, Pyreneance offers multi-activity winter stays that combine snowshoeing, mountain culture and time outdoors. These experiences are designed to offer a broader understanding of Pyrenean life, even in winter.

Rather than rushing from one activity to another, the focus is on balance and immersion.

Events & Signature Mountain Experiences

Pyreneance also creates special events and limited winter experiences, often centred around iconic locations like the Néouvielle massif or high-mountain refuges. These events bring together small groups of like-minded travellers for deeply memorable winter moments.
