Baqueira-Beret stands out as a premier ski resort, known for its sophisticated charm and family-friendly atmosphere. It offers well-groomed, uncrowded slopes and consistent snow conditions that cater to all skill levels, from beginners to expert skiers and snowboarders.
Beginners: The primary beginner area at the top of the main Baqueira gondola features gentle slopes ideal for learning. The ski schools, including English-speaking instructors, are geared to help novices progress quickly, from mastering the basics on nearby nursery slopes to tackling the longer green "Era Coma" piste as their skills develop.
Intermediates: With 165 km of pistes, Baqueira-Beret offers extensive, open cruising above the treeline with a mix of wide blue and red runs from most lift tops. Particularly noteworthy are the areas above Bonaigua, where tree-free mountainsides provide ample space and excellent conditions for perfecting carving techniques and enjoying long descents.
Advanced: Advanced skiers have access to the steep black runs below the Cap de Baqueira peak. The introduction of the Baciver drag lift has opened new off-piste opportunities above the Lacs de Baciver, ideal for those seeking powder days. Additionally, the new red slope "Eth Coret" adds more kilometers to explore, starting from the bottom of the Baciver lift and extending to Orri.
Snowboarding: Baqueira-Beret features wide blues in the Baqueira sector that are perfect for beginners and an exciting snow park above Beret, where more experienced boarders can practice jumps and spins.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other ‘all-inclusive’ sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
