Where skiing is not just skiing
Where skiing is not just skiing
A stone’s throw from the Costa Brava, the most Mediterranean Girona Pyrenees turns into a snow-covered mountainscape in the winter that anyone who loves skiing or high mountain terrain would find hard to resist.
When the ground is blanketed in white, the regions of Cerdanya and Ripollès raise the curtain on a new season of alpine, Nordic and mountain skiing, snowshoeing and mountain climbing at the region’s five ski resorts that are the stars of its winter sports scene.
Combine superb skiing with some of the other first-class experiences on offer in the Girona Pyrenees, a landscape dotted with picturesque small towns and cultural gems in the form of Romanesque monasteries and chapels and home to a delicious local cuisine. Don’t leave without sampling our mountain cuisine, with traditional dishes that really hit the spot on a cold day, such as Trinxat de la Cerdanya or a beef or rabbit stew with wild mushrooms.

Enjoy some excellent skiing on the Girona side of the Pyrenees, boasting over 200 km of runs, the majority of which form part of the Alp 2500 domain connecting the resorts of La Molina and Masella. Two very special places for alpine skiing and with a long mountain tradition in Catalonia also await you in Vall de Núria and Vallter 2000.
Guils Fontanera is the number one resort for Nordic skiing enthusiasts and for those who fancy strapping on some snowshoes and exploring its marked circuits.
With a range of unique, unmissable experiences, such as night skiing under the stars at the Masella resort. Or riding the emblematic rack railway in Vall de Núria, which transports you up an incline of 1,000 m to one of the most magical corners of the Catalan Pyrenees.
If stunning 360° views are what you’re after, the Cadí-Moixeró cable car takes you on a short panoramic trip to the 2,537 metre-high La Tosa d’Alp summit, one of the best lookout points in the Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees, where you can also enjoy a hearty dinner and overnight stay in the highest serviced refuge in the Pyrenees.
And the youngest members of the family will also go away with some wonderful, fun-filled memories of zip-wiring over the snow at La Molina adventure park or sledding in the Vallter2000 leisure park.
