On Snow Experience
Baqueira is a fantastic destination for those new to skiing in Spain. It offers a decent-sized ski area with a good variety of runs and some easily accessible off-piste terrain right next to the marked slopes, perfect for keeping things interesting over a long weekend. There’s a solid mix of mountain restaurants, ranging from simple self-service options to authentic Pyrenean eateries. Après-ski is well catered for too: check out the Moët & Chandon bar or the lively Baqueira Bar at the bottom of the slopes – hard to miss on your way home!

Features
There are three bases to choose from beneath the 160km of linked slopes.
We’d recommended Baqueira as it is the largest, has the best choice of bars and restaurants and is located right in the heart of the ski area.
The slopes mostly suit intermediates, but there are some good beginner zones, most notably on the Bosque plateau above Baqueira and on the edge of Beret. More advanced skiers and boarders should not turn away however, as on a powder day the upper bowls of the resort offer terrain to rival the big hitters in the Alps.

An uncrowded resort with an excellent snow record in the heart of Val d’Aran, Baquiera not only offers low prices and Spanish hospitality, but also world-class skiing.
Pros and cons
- Extensive snowsure skiing
- Excellent value for money
- Good off piste in the right conditions and great value heliskiing on offer
- Open, treeless slopes so can suffer in bad weather
- Few on piste challenges for advanced and expert skiers
- Still some slow, old lifts
Hotel Montarto
You’ll be staying in the charming Hotel Montarto, centrally located in the heart of Baqueira, on a half board basis. The hotel is home to two restaurants, a piano bar, and a range of spa facilities. This holiday is on a single occupancy basis. You will therefore be placed in a room on your own for the duration of the trip. If you would prefer to share a room with someone you know, then please contact the Freshtracks office and we will make the relevant arrangements.
Hotel Montarto is comfortable and well-suited to groups. It features a charming piano bar, a smaller sports bar, and a public tapas bar. All meals are buffet-style but of good quality, with excellent variety and a wide selection of wines to suit all budgets. The spa must be booked and paid for separately, and it’s worth noting it’s closed on Sundays. However, the hotel staff offered a consistently high level of service throughout the stay, and I’d definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Baqueira.

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday. We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain.
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Passport – Check your passport is in date and valid for travel by checking the entry requirements for your destination country – you can see these here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
For most European destinations your passport should:
- have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
- have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area
Check your passport meets these requirements before you travel.
NB: Beginning in October 2025, how you pass through EU border controls will change. Find out more information about EES and ETIAS here.
When venturing off piste, it is compulsory to wear an avalanche transceiver. These can be provided by the Ski Club and should be worn by every person on every all mountain, off piste and touring holiday. Anyone joining these holidays will also be required to bring their own backpack, shovel and probe.
