It was on the advice of experienced hiker friends that we discovered the Vicdessos Valley. During a summer weekend, we went hiking with our family in the Marc valley and, delighted by our outing, we promised ourselves to return in winter to ski at the Goulier Neige resort, warmly recommended by our friends. We left Toulouse early, and already the view of the snow-covered Pyrenees from the freeway was absolutely superb.
To make the most of it, we booked a room at Eau Berges – Chez Mamie, located at the bottom of the valley, 8 km from the resort. The view from the terrace over Montcalm is remarkable, the welcome warm and the room welcoming, just what we were looking for.

Big blue sky, snow-covered fir trees, a real picture-postcard landscape. The view is breathtaking as soon as we reach the parking lot: the little resort is nestled in a great white cirque, between frosted peaks and dense forest.
We go to the rental shop to pick up our equipment for the day. The staff are all smiles and available, and they adjust our skis with the utmost care for our little apprentice skiers.
