Balnéa - Génos Loudenvielle
Balnéa "Tous les bains du monde"
Suddenly, the mountains open out and reveal a valley, the Louron valley, protected yet innovative...
A valley which has kept all the charm and character of the mountain villages which encircle its lake, whilst all the time developing a range of activities and high quality services.
From here the ski areas of Peyragudes and Val Louron are close with easy road access.
Balnea is situated on the banks of lake Genos at Loudenvielle in the Louron valley and entices the visitor into a universe of pure beauty and sophistication. This thermal well-being centre is in an area of great natural beauty with spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding mountains.

The originals
Balnea offers a special 'mountain treatment' using Arnica Oil. The medical properties of Arnica are well known for treating infections, reducing inflammations and improving the circulation. Arnica is found between 1800 and 3000 metres of altitude. Applied during a massage it is particularly soothing and beneficial after a day on the ski slopes.
Balnea is also a world tour of the senses, Turkish baths, Tibetan stone massage and Taiko yoga; a really relaxing voyage!
