Baqueira-Beret is the largest ski resort in Spain and is located in the Aran Valley (Lérida), in the Catalan Pyrenees. It is made up of three large ski areas: Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua. Its 120 kilometres of slopes (most of them facing north) are divided into 6 green, 36 blue, 29 red and 7 black and countless slopes and routes for lovers of skiing.
The daily ski pass for adults costs €47 and for children €31. At the weekend, the price is €86 (adults) and €53 (children). It is not exactly the cheapest ski resort we can find, but it is one of the best in terms of service and infrastructure.

Of all the hotels and restaurants that the resort offers, we recommend the following: Rafael Hoteles by La Pleta, Val de Neu and Himàlaia Baqueira and the restaurants Pinotage Restaurante and Cafe, Tartería and Casa Irene. For eating on the slopes: Moët Winter Lounge (posturing with music and pure show off) and the Restaurant 1.800/ 5J Grill.
Baqueira is not only known for its incredible slopes, but also because it tops the front pages of the gossip press for the number of celebrities who are seen every winter in its cafes, restaurants and clubs. Celebrities such as the Royal Family, Mar Flores, Belén Rueda and the Aznars, among others. So if you fancy a good “selfie” with the celebrity of the moment, we recommend a couple of places: Artíes with two bars, Divino (Era Hònt, 5) and La Luna (Major, 1) until 03:00h; and for the more lively there is the Montana discotheque in Baqueira.
If sport is not your thing and you are looking for a plan B, do not hesitate to visit the Tredos Baths (Banhs de Tredòs) or the Artíes Thermal Baths (Banhs D'Arties). Another option is the plan at the Mongarri Refuge, where you go by snowmobile or dog sled and eat there.
