Ski Resort Guide: Baqueira Beret

Baqueira Beret: Intro

Spain’s best resort presents an intriguing blend of versatile intermediate skiing and a fantastic, homely welcome.
Chairlift (credit: Baqueira Beret Tourist Office)
Baqueira-Beret, in the heart of the Pyrenees, enjoyed its moment in the sun as 'the place where the Beckhams go skiing' while David was plying his trade at Real Madrid. But don't let that put you off. Instead, think of it as one of Europe's best-kept secrets, where the night-time pursuits are of a classier bent, the tapas is cheap and plentiful and there is a huge, oversized Pacha nightclub should you feel the need to enjoy a sizeable night out. This resort has been developing at quite a rate recently, but this is being subtly handled.
Pros
  • Gorgeous valley.
  • Good for all levels.
  • Fantastic food.
Cons
  • Short season, and unreliable snow at the end of the winter.
  • A car is pretty much essential to get the best of it.
  • Increasing in popularity, so might not be a well kept secret for much longer.
