Baqueira Beret, Spain
About The Resort
Baqueira-Beret is a ski resort located in the heart of the Pyrenees, in the Aran and Àneu Valleys in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. Due to its reliable snow elevation, the typical ski season starts in November and goes to late April. Baqueira is also the largest and most visited winter resort in Spain.
Baqueira-Beret has long and wide ski runs, some through trees. It is divided into three different zones, Baqueira, Beret, and Bonaigua. Due to its westerly aspect and position on the northern side of the Pyrenees, and consequent Atlantic climate, the resort of Baqueira-Beret has a good snow record throughout the winter. In addition, there are more than 3,300 ft of vertical drop and an extensive skiable zone.
Founded 60 years ago, much of the region of the Aran Valley and Àneu Valley is made up of over 50 small rural populations, each one with stone and wood houses and ancient Romanesque churches. Making quite a beautiful area to view.
