Boí Taüll Car Parks

The Boí Taüll resort is at the head of the Vall de Boí, about 8 km from Taüll and the Pla de l'Ermita along a mountain road. At the end of that road, at the foot of the pistes, a little over 2,000 metres up, are its car parks. They are free and the resort organises them in several zones.

The parking zones

On its practical information page, Boí Taüll lists two main zones at the base of the resort:

• P1, lower car park.
• P2, upper car park.

Both are free. The resort links a PDF plan with the layout, but does not publish the number of spaces or specific rules for motorhomes. If you are travelling in a motorhome or a large vehicle, call customer service beforehand, on 973 297 085.

At the base you have the Cafeteria Isard, at 2,035 metres, the official hire shop and the ticket offices. The Pista Llarga ticket office is open from 8:30 to 16:00 from 31 March, and the lifts run from 9:00 to 16:45, last ride up.

Getting to the base

From Lleida, the route is the N-230 to Pont de Suert and then the L-500, which climbs through the Vall de Boí and passes Barruera and Erill la Vall. At Taüll the resort road branches off. It is about 8 km of winding climb and the base is above 2,000 metres, so in winter carry chains or winter tyres and check the state of the road before you leave.

Without a car: the Bus de la Neu

At weekends and public holidays you can leave the car in the village where you are sleeping and go up on the Bus de la Neu, which leaves Vilaller at 7:45, stops at Pont de Suert, Barruera, Erill la Vall, Boí, Taüll and the Pla de l'Ermita, and reaches the pistes at 9:00. It costs €1. If you are staying at the Aparthotel Siente Boí, at the Pla de l'Ermita, the bus stops nearby. Also, for those doing the off-piste itineraries of the Vall de Moró and the Vall de Ginebrell, the resort has a Freeride Bus that picks up at the end of the route and returns to the base; you need an activated day lift pass.

Tips

Arrive early on days of fresh snow, long weekends and Christmas, when more people go up. Collect your equipment at the resort hire shop, at the foot of the pistes, and that way you do not load skis into the car. On the way down, use the afternoon to see Santa Maria de Taüll, open in winter, or to relax at the Caldes de Boí thermal circuit. The tourist office, in Barruera, can tell you about the whole valley.
