The ski resort of Baqueira-Beret was founded in 1964 by Luis Arias, a champion Spanish ski racer. It is one of Spain’s largest resorts and generally considered the most challenging. The resort is divided into its Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua sections, with the slope peak at 2,510 m (8,233 feet) and most of the runs scattered above treeline.
There are some famous bump runs that are often used for training by the Spanish national ski team and there are also a few gentler cruiser runs. The resort has one half-pipe, four green, 19 blue, 20 red and four black runs serviced by 17 chairlifts and eight poma-lifts. ccommodations are ski in-ski out only on the slopes and very, very pricey. Better to stay in Salardú a few kilometers away.
