|}} Peyragudes is a large ski resort in the French Pyrenees, situated in the departments of Hautes-Pyrénées and Haute-Garonne, in the Region of Occitanie.

The resort was created in 1988, when the Peyresourde and Agudes resorts were joined.

Skiing

The resort is located on 2 sides of the same mountain, connected thru several lifts.

There are 18 ski lifts and 51 ski slopes:

6 green slopes
23 blue slopes
18 red slopes
4 black slopes

A major part of the resort is equipped with 230 snow-guns.

The Skyvall gondola, which cost €30m and opened in 2019, links Loudenvielle in the Vallee du Louron to the mountain village at Peyragudes.

Cycling

The climb up to the ski-resort can be accessed from the D618 between Arreau and the Col de Peyresourde. The summit is situated at 1605 m.

The climb was used on the 2010 Route du Sud, when David Moncoutié was the first rider to cross the line, going on to win the whole race.

Tour de France

In 2012, Peyragudes was the finish of Stage 17 of the Tour de France. The summit of the climb for the purposes of the King of the Mountains was 1,000 m. before the end of the stage, at a height of 1603 m. First over the summit was Alejandro Valverde, who went on to win the stage, with Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins 19 seconds behind. Romain Bardet won the stage in the 2017 Tour, while Aru took the yellow jersey from Chris Froome. In the 2022 Tour Brandon McNulty broke the entire GC group with the exception of teammate Tadej Pogačar, who won the stage, and Jonas Vingegaard who retained the yellow jersey after finishing second on the stage.{{cite web|url=https://www.velonews.com/events/tour-de-france/tour-de-france-brandon-mcnulty-named-most-aggressive-rider-after-helping-tadej-pogacar-to-stage-win/
