Itineraries
Days and weekends already planned out, with how to get between each stop and who to book with.
Plan the trip
Each choice narrows the next: the season shapes how best to travel, and how you travel decides where you stay and where you eat.
When to go
The resort opens from December to April, depending on the snow. For Romanesque without snow, May to October; in November many businesses close for holidays.
How you travel
Choose how you're travelling and we'll tell you where to stay, how to get around, where to eat and which services you'll need. We only show the ways of travelling that make sense here.
The car is the normal way to get here: the N-230 from Lleida to Pont de Suert and the L-500 up the valley. You sleep in Taüll, Boí or the Pla de l'Ermita and go up to the pistes every morning. The budget includes lift pass, food and shared accommodation.
Who you're with
A trip with a toddler is not the same as one with a teenager. Pick yours to see what works and what to bear in mind.
Boí Taüll charges little for the youngest and has a children's area and sledges. The valley adds what a resort does not have: nine-hundred-year-old churches that can be seen in half an hour and a spa that admits children from age 3.
For a teenager who already skis, Boí Taüll has what they ask for: lots of reds and blacks and a snowpark. And for those who do not, a proper snowshoe outing through the national park.

Tips
You save €3 per person and day.
In winter many open only in the morning on Sundays.
The spa does not publish its winter opening.
For €1 it runs from the villages to the slopes and you don't have to look for parking.
The Vall de Boí is the valley of the Noguera de Tor, in the Alta Ribagorça, north of Lleida. It climbs from the Pont de Suert on the L-500 and passes through Barruera, Erill la Vall, Boí and Taüll to Caldes de Boí, at the gates of the Aigüestortes National Park. In winter it brings together three things that rarely go together: the highest ski resort in the Pyrenees, Boí Taüll, eight Romanesque churches and a hermitage that UNESCO declared World Heritage, and hot water, at the Caldes spa and at a spa at the foot of the slopes.
From Lleida, take the N-230 north, Benabarre and the Pont de Suert; there you take the L-500 on the right, up the valley. Allow about two hours to Barruera and two hours twenty-five minutes to the slopes, more with snow. From Barcelona it is a little over four hours to the slopes, via the A-2 and Lleida. From Huesca and Zaragoza you enter via Graus and the N-230. These times are estimated by Geocalia with a route calculator: in winter, add a margin.
The resort is about 8 km above the Pla de l'Ermita, along a mountain road that rises above 2,000 metres. Always carry chains. At weekends and on public holidays, the ALSA Snow Bus runs from Vilaller to the slopes through all the valley villages for €1.
45 km and 43 runs: 6 green, 6 blue, 15 red and 16 black, with 10 lifts, between 2,040 and 2,751 metres. It has 170 snow cannons, covering 38% of the runs, a snowpark, a sledge area, a children's area and four ski touring routes. It is a resort for those who can already hold their own: there are more black runs than green and blue together.
The adult day lift pass costs €49 online according to the rates published in November 2026 (€3 more at the ticket office); ages 12 to 24, €41.50; ages 7 to 11, €36; up to age 6, €7. The afternoon pass, from 13:00, €38.50, and the beginner pass, €26. Official rental charges €29 for an adult ski set and €21.50 for a child's. The car parks at the base are free.
Snowshoeing. Rutes Pirineus goes up in the park's 4x4 taxi from Boí to the Planell d'Aigüestortes and walks with snowshoes to the Estany Llong: 12 km, from age 9, €47.90 plus the taxi, on 31 January, 20 February and 13 March 2027. Guies de Taüll, with an office in the village, runs half-day or full-day outings from December to April, from €35.
Romanesque. Santa Maria de Taüll is free and open all winter. Sant Joan de Boí and Santa Eulàlia d'Erill la Vall cost €3, and the joint ticket for three churches, €8. Start at the Centre del Romànic in Erill la Vall, which explains the whole. Note this winter: Sant Climent de Taüll, the one with the Pantocrator, is closed from 30 November 2026 until the end of spring 2027 for roof works.
Hot water. The Spa Siente Boí, at the Pla de l'Ermita, opens to non-guests: a 90-minute circuit for €20 for adults and €12 for children, Friday to Sunday from 11:00 and on other days from 16:00. The Caldes de Boí spa, at 1,500 metres, has 37 springs from 4 to 56 °C and a 55-minute thermal circuit for €45, from age 7; it does not publish its winter dates, so call beforehand.
From Lleida you can go and come back in a day to ski, but the valley deserves at least one night: a day on the slopes and a morning of churches, or a day of snowshoeing and an afternoon at the spa. With two nights you see everything without rushing.
In Taüll, the village closest to the slopes, the two-star Hotel El Rantiner is opposite Sant Climent, with breakfast included and free parking. At the Pla de l'Ermita, the four-star Aparthotel Siente Boí has apartments for up to six people, a spa and admits dogs. In Boí, the Hotel Pey overlooks the park taxis' square; it is closed Monday and Tuesday.
Mountain cooking: escudella, which they call vianda here, wild boar civet, lamb and foal. El Caliu, on the way out of Taüll towards the slopes, has been doing it for 34 years and is closed on Tuesdays; this year it reopens on 3 December. At the resort, the Cafeteria Isard serves sit-down food on its first floor.
