About the area

Port del Comte in the Catalan Pyrenees is a compact area of about 26 km of pistes, and 65% of them are green or blue — some 17 km of easy terrain. That makes it a straightforward place to learn: there are four magic carpets for first steps and seven short easy runs grouped next to a lift base. Families will find the basics covered, though the choice beyond the learning zone is limited. Experts have little to work with: only 2 km, or 6%, is black or freeride terrain, and the longest single run drops just 377 m.

The slopes run between 1,743 m and 2,121 m, so snow depends on a good winter rather than altitude. Thirteen lifts serve the area, mostly surface tows — six platters alongside three chairlifts and the four carpets. The longest run measures 2,786 m, with 7 km of red pistes for those progressing.
