Get to know the resort
Guzet, often called Guzet-Neige, is tucked into the wooded Couserans valleys of the Ariège, one of the greenest and least developed corners of the Pyrenees. Its 40 km of piste wind through spruce and fir forest across three sectors up to about 2100 m, sheltered and atmospheric, with gentle runs for families and a handful of steeper lines. There is no slope-side town, so it keeps a peaceful, unspoilt feel, the kind of place locals guard jealously.
