Baqueira-Beret
Baqueira Beret
Spain's largest ski resort, with more than 170 km of runs, known for the high-quality dry snow of the northern Pyrenees slopes. The Spanish royal family often comes here on holiday.
Baqueira-Beret spans four sectors: Baqueira, Beret, Bonaigua, and the Ruda Valley. Its runs total more than 170 km, at elevations between 1,500 and 2,610 metres. The north-facing slopes receive abundant snowfall from Atlantic air currents. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs are all available, along with cross-country skiing and off-piste areas that are not groomed. The ski season typically runs from December to April, and a day pass costs about 70 to 80 euros. The resort is about 14 km from Vielha, and seasonal buses run there. In summer, some chairlifts are open for hiking and mountain biking.
