La Molina is the ski resort closest to Barcelona by train and one of the first in Spain. It has runs for learning and long reds from the Tosa d'Alp, the summit the gondola climbs to.

## Runs, altitudes and lifts

The ski area adds up to 71 km and 67 runs: 20 green, 18 blue, 23 red and 6 black, between 1,667 and 2,537 metres. It is served by 16 lifts, with one gondola, eight chairlifts, three drag lifts and four conveyor belts, and 602 cannons cover 60% of the surface. It has a snowpark. The base greens, at Pista Llarga and Trampolí, are the beginners' ones: the €31 beginner lift pass gives only those lifts and the belts.

## How much a day costs

In the 2026-27 season, the day lift pass costs €49 for adults (25 to 64), €41.50 for ages 12 to 24 and €36 for ages 7 to 11; under-7s and over-75s pay €7. The afternoon, from 13:00, comes to €33.50. Those are online prices: at the ticket office add €3. The Alp2500 lift pass, which combines La Molina and Masella, costs €57.

The resort's own rental charges €25 for complete adult ski equipment, €35 for snowboard and €15.50 for snowshoes.

## Lessons

More than ten schools operate at La Molina. The Escola d'Esquí La Molina, the oldest, charges €124 for a three-day group course; a one-hour private lesson costs from €54 to €62. It has a children's park by the hour, from €19.

## Getting there and where to park

From Barcelona, the C-16 and the Cadí tunnel, or the N-260 over the Collada de Toses. By train, the Rodalies R3 stops at La Molina station; with the Skitren package, which includes the train from the R3 stations, the internal bus to Pista Llarga is free. Without it, it costs €5. There are eight car parks, from P1 at the gondola to P8 at the lake.

## Before leaving the piste

Off-piste and snowshoeing in the mountains depend on the avalanche danger. The Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya publishes the Butlletí de Perill d'Allaus for the Pyrenees, on a scale of 1 to 5, valid off the pistes and in uncontrolled areas. Check it before you set out.
