Before each outing, it is essential to consult the Avalanche Risk Assessment Bulletin (BERA) of the Pyrenees to adapt your route to the conditions of the day and analyze the stability of the snowpack.

Webcams at the resorts and snow conditions provide an initial indication of the mountain's state, but they are insufficient to assess risks in a natural environment. Conditions can change rapidly depending on the weather, wind, or snowfall.

For even safer ski touring in the Pyrenees, we advise you to be accompanied by mountain professionals, such as the ESF of Luz-Saint-Sauveur , the Luz Guides Bureau or to inquire with the Luz Tourist Office to find out about suitable routes and guided outings.
