Resort Overview
Baqueira is the dream secret resort you’ve never heard of. Think empty slopes, perfectly prepared pistes, beautiful scenery and low-priced mountain restaurants.
Why have you never heard of it? Because it’s in the Spanish Pyrenees and not the Alps, but the mountains are distinctly Alpine in scale and they boast an even better snow record. In fact, there's often so much that the snowploughs are still clearing the roads into mid-May!
Great for all abilities
Our guests return raving about this resort, as the skiing is good for all levels. The slope gradients are consistent, which is helpful for beginners. Families love the village crèche and specific ski school for younger kids, whilst intermediates enjoy cruising the long, wide blue and red runs.
Diverse terrain to explore
The open and varied terrain is popular with skiers and snowboarders alike, and there is even some black-diamond terror for the more hardcore snow-lover, including the notorious Escornacrabes couloir.
Possibly the best ski resort in the world?!
This was the view expressed by the renowned ski journalist Peter Hardy in an article that he wrote for The Telegraph:
