Baqueira-Beret, Ski resort in Val d'Aran, Spain.

The ski area extends across 161 kilometers of marked pistes, combining three zones of Baqueira, Beret, and Bonaigua between 1,500 and 2,610 meters elevation.

Local authorities in the Aran Valley established the resort in the 1960s, with Jorge Jordana Pozas and Luis Arias leading the development of winter sports facilities.

The Val d'Aran location combines Spanish, French, and Catalonian influences, reflecting in the regional architecture and mountain gastronomy served at slope-side restaurants.

The resort provides 36 lifts, including one gondola and 20 chairlifts, transporting visitors to different sections while offering equipment rentals and instruction programs.

The Spanish royal family regularly visits this northeastern resort, which receives consistent snowfall from November through April due to its Atlantic-facing mountain position.

From the Pyrenees in the sun: the resorts where winter breathes

From high-altitude forests to peaks overlooking Spain, the Pyrenees possess a raw charm that stands out. Less flashy than the Alps, but more human and vibrant. Skiing takes place amid pines and valleys, sometimes facing the sea, sometimes in powder silence. The resorts maintain their mountain spirit: wooden chalets, small bars at the base of slopes, ski schools where everyone eventually gets to know each other. From Grand Tourmalet to Baqueira-Beret, from Saint-Lary to Catalan plateaus, each area has its own light, rhythm, and accent. Some invite sporty skiing, others Nordic strolling. And when evening falls, with hot wine and the snow gradually fading, one understands why the Pyrenees are among the mountains that are unforgettable.
