Baqueira-Beret

Baqueira-Beret is a ski resort in Val d'Aran spread across three linked zones with over 160 kilometers of marked runs between 1,500 and 2,610 meters elevation. The area offers slopes ranging from beginner terrain to challenging paths for experienced skiers, all accessible via an extensive lift network.

The area developed into a winter sports destination during the 1960s when local leaders built infrastructure for skiing operations. Since then it has grown into one of Spain's major winter sports centers.

The valley blends Spanish, French, and Catalan influences that appear in local building styles and traditional mountain cooking served at restaurants throughout the area.

The resort is easy to navigate on foot, and the marked trails are accessible even for those with some mountain experience. Visiting between November and April offers the best snow conditions, with December through March generally being optimal.

The location on the Atlantic-facing side of the mountains brings consistent snowfall throughout the season, making it reliable for snow conditions compared to other resorts in the region. This natural advantage has helped it develop a strong reputation among winter sports visitors.
