Why ski Baqueira-Beret?

Baqueira-Beret is Spain's premier ski resort — it's where the Spanish royal family skis, and the combination of Pyrenean snowfall, excellent modern lift infrastructure and 159km of pistes makes it genuinely one of the best resorts in southern Europe. The Val d'Aran is a unique enclave with its own Occitan language (Aranese), and the food and cultural identity of the valley is unlike anywhere else in Spain.
