Baqueira, The Spanish Pyrenees
The small exclusive ski resort of Baqueira is tucked away in the Val d Aran in Catalonia, the Spanish Pyrenees, and is just 1.5 hours by car transfer from Toulouse. Baqueira, mostly unknown to the UK market yet famous for its Spanish Royal visitors, is hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With 100km of pisted runs and a varied ski terrain, the resort is ideal for all ski levels with immaculately groomed pistes, superb powder and boundless off-piste for the more advanced. This modern, family resort voted The Best Small Resort by The Great Skiing and Snowboarding Awards in 2007, is effortlessly laid back and has a good record of snowfall, rivalling that of Verbier over the last seven years. The town itself retains its old Occitanian culture and has an enchanting mix of French and Spanish influence. Baqueira is the perfect getaway for those who are looking for ski holiday with a difference, and who prefer tapas to fondue!Properties
