Ski in Catalan Pyrenees (Baqueira-Beret)

Baqueira-Beret, considered the best ski resort in Spain, is located in the Aran Valley and is the only one located in the Pyrenees. With 167 skiable kilometers, the resort is divided into four areas, with a hundred slopes in mountains over 3,000 meters of altitude. Baqueira-Beret is a favorite of celebrities and ski professionals. Not for nothing has AUDI given it its name: Baqueira, Home of Quattro.

In addition, the area offers historical and cultural charms, such as the churches of the Bohí Valley, declared a World Heritage Site, an impressive nature with the Aigüestortes National Park and more than 400 lakes, and an exceptional gastronomic and hotel offer.

On this trip, you will have two ski resort options: Espot or Baqueira, or one day in each. And at the end of the day, you can enjoy a bonfire in our charming hotel.

Additional tips

CHOOSE THE DAY PASS (Forfait) 

We recommend spending the first day at Baqueira, the largest ski resort, so you can fully enjoy skiing without getting too tired.

On the second day, we suggest skiing at Espot since we’ll have less time; we’ll need to return the equipment there, and we may feel more tired. However, if you’re an advanced skier or snowboarder, you’re welcome to ski at Baqueira again. We’ll plan to leave by 15:00 to return the equipment in Espot by 16:00.

 

SKI EQUIPMENT: If you don’t have your own ski/snowboard equipment, don’t worry, you can rent it directly with us at the ski resort. The package includes skis, boots and poles, and you choose if you prefer with or without helmet.

SKI LESSONS: Do you feel like skiing or snowboarding but you still don’t know how? We help you learn this amazing winter sport with classes on the slopes. We offer 3-hour group lessons and 1-hour private lessons, so you have no excuse not to take to the snow!

VIELHA: Capital of Aran valley

The essential town of the Catalan Pyrenees, Vielha, the capital of the Aran Valley, is also called “The city between mountains” the real name is Vielha e Mijaran.
At almost 1,000m high, VIelha is one of the largest towns in the area, its rich architectural and cultural heritage, which is why today it is considered one of the most important places of Cultural Interest in the Aran Valley.

 

3 VILLAGES: Saladru, Arties and Unha

Unha (The town if the Catalan Pyrenees with the best views): If we talk about the best towns in the Catalan Pyrenees, after Vielha we always talk about Unha. The views of the valley and the glacier from there look like something out of a postcard.

Arties: Another charming town in the Val d’Aran, just 7km from the Baqueira Beret ski resort, chosen as one of the most beautiful towns in Vall de Aran.

Salardú: a medieval town at an altitude of 1,268 meters, between the Garona and Unhóla rivers, is the capital of the Naut Aran.

This is the second time we will be staying at this hotel: we were there this summer and had a great time, so we have decided to repeat. The location of the hotel is excellent, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is very friendly.

The rooms are triple, but you can request a double (supplement of +7€ per person/night) or single (+40€ per night).
