La Molina
About the area
La Molina in the Catalan Pyrenees has about 48 km of pistes, and 54% of them (26 km) are green or blue, so the balance clearly favours those still learning. Four magic carpets cover first steps, and there are 14 short easy runs next to a lift base, which makes repetition simple. Families are well served: two gondolas mean small children can avoid chairlift loading. Strong skiers will find less here, with only 5 km of black and freeride terrain (10%) and 704 m as the longest vertical on a single run.
The ski area runs from 1,652 m to 2,518 m and is served by 17 lifts: 2 gondolas, 8 chairlifts, 3 drag lifts and 4 magic carpets. The longest run measures 2,916 m. Red pistes add 17 km if you want steeper terrain between the easy sectors.
