Baqueira Beret
Also known as Baqueira-Beret / Baqueira
About the area
Baqueira-Beret in the Catalan Pyrenees covers 154 km of pistes, and the balance leans clearly toward easy and mid-level skiing: 69 km, or 44%, is green or blue, with 63 km of blue and 61 km of red. Beginners are well served by 7 magic carpets and 24 short easy runs beside a lift base. Families benefit from those carpets plus 2 gondolas, so small children can be loaded without a chairlift. Experts get less: only 16% (25 km) is black, expert or freeride terrain, though there are 9 km of marked freeride and one run with 628 m of vertical.
The area runs from 1,504 m to 2,599 m and is served by 36 lifts, including 18 chairlifts and 3 platters. The longest descent measures 4,153 m. There are also 5 km of cross-country trails.
