Overview of Guzet
Guzet is a singular resort, integrated in the heart of nature at 1,400 metres altitude. Its architectural concept — based on timber chalets scattered through the forest — gives it an intimate and warm mountain village atmosphere, far from tower blocks. The resort is organised across three distinct sectors, offering fine progression for skiers. The Prat-Mataou plateau (1,400 m) is the heart of the resort — a true paradise for families with its beginner area, green and blue runs, and the Guzet Express toboggan departure. The Freychet sector, more technical, takes experienced skiers up to 2,100 metres with fine red runs. Finally, the Guzet Combe offers wilder skiing and black runs for the most expert. This diversity of terrain, combined with the beauty of its forest landscapes, makes Guzet a complete and appealing resort.
