Thermal leisure center in the Pyrenees
The “Balnéa” thermo-leisure center is a haven of peace thanks to its thermal waters, the most famous in the Pyrenees. It is located in the Louron valley, at the foot of the Peyragudes and Val-Louron ski resorts, on the shores of Lake Génos-Loudenvielle. The “family” packs offer the opportunity to experience a very unusual moment of relaxation. At the heart of an architecture inspired by the habitat of the Indians of North America, everything is designed to accommodate parents and their children, from 9 months.
