Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua

Skiing for everyone: Beginners or initiates, descents, marches, slaloms or snow-board: Three areas make up the great station: Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua, in the Arán Valley. For initiation, Beret is the most recommended if you start skiing, with an area for beginners and a reduced ski pass.

Beret

Here are those for adrenaline and adventure: If you are a lover of snowboarding and freestyle skiing, the Beret sector will instantly be your favorite area of the resort, since it is where the only two snowparks in Baqueira Beret are located. In the Blanhiblar sector between 1900m and 2000m altitude is the Serra de Baqueira Beret snowpark. One last.

Baqueira

The Baqueira sector is the most varied and oldest area of the entire resort in the Aran Valley. There are green slopes for learning to ski or enjoying your trip to the snow with the family, as well as slopes with vertiginous slopes, such as the famous 'Escornacabres' black slope, one of the most popular in this ski resort.

Bonaigua

This area is the furthest away and it is mainly used by professional skiers. There, there are many 'off tracks' and areas for freeriders. However, if you are one of them, you can go with your family, since there is also a playground in Bonaigua for children over 2 years of age.

After skiing in Baqueira and the Aran Valley

Even so, if the sport par excellence in the valley is not your favourite, don't worry, the number of possibilities and activities in The Aran Valley is infinite: spas, museums, sleigh rides with dogs or horses, snowmobiles, snowshoe excursions, gastronomic visits (cheese shops, caviar) or activities such as climbing walls, zip lines... There is even the possibility of a helicopter ride up to one of the highest peaks of the mountain.
