Baqueira Beret, four snow areas at the head of the Aran.

Baqueira Beret occupies the head of the Val d'Aran and looks out to the Pallars over the Bonaigua pass. It is big, with more reds than any other colour, in a valley that drains to the Atlantic.

Runs, altitudes and areas

For the 2026-27 season the resort announces 175 km of runs and itineraries on 132 routes: 125 runs and 7 itineraries. It goes from 1,500 to 2,610 metres, 1,110 m of vertical drop. The fact sheet on its website divides the ski area into four zones: Baqueira, Beret, Bonaigua and Baciver, and gives 6 green runs, 47 blue, 56 red and 18 black, before this winter's changes. It has a snowpark, a funpark for the little ones and a boardercross.

This year it premieres the six-seat Mirador chairlift, which climbs to altitude 2,469, and has redone the beginners' area at Baqueira 1800 with double conveyor belts. At Era Coma two short reds are added, Chicòia and Parpalhòla, and at Beret the beginners' area is enlarged.

From Barcelona, the resort calculates 4 h 26 by car on the A-2, A-14 and N-230 to Vielha, and through the Vielha tunnel into the Val d'Aran. From Lleida, on the N-230. There are free car parks at Orri 1800, Pla de Beret, Bonaigua and La Peülla; the outdoor car park at Baqueira 1500 becomes paid from the 2026-27 season (€1 an hour, €12 a day at most). The Gondola Car Park, at the foot of the 1500 gondola, is paid: €15 a day, with online booking.

Off-piste

Outside the pistes and uncontrolled areas, the ICGC's Butlletí de Perill d'Allaus rules, which covers the Aran sector: check it before setting out, go with a guide if you have no training and carry a transceiver, shovel and probe.
