Sightseeing in Baqueira-Beret - what to see. Complete travel guide

In the past, the valley, in which Baqueira-Beret is situated, was an isolated area that had almost no connection with the outer world. Because of this, local people could speak only one language – Aranese. In modern times, linguists agreed upon the fact that Aranese is a dialect of the Catalan language. Residents of Baqueira-Beret keep using this language in their everyday life. Children learn Aranese in schools, and local authorities use it to make important announcements. The resort was officially launched in 1964.
This mountain resort is divided into three different zones, namely, Baqueira, Beret, and Bonaigua. The first zone is a perfect choice for visitors who only start alpine skiing. In Beret, there are not only ski trails but also other exciting activities such as dog sledding and parachute jumping. This zone has wide ski trails, so visitors can ski together with their friends. The last zone, Bonaigua, is perfectly suitable for freestyle. In order to move between different parts of the large resort, tourists can use comfortable ski lifts.

Children are always welcome to join special ski schools. Professional coaches will teach your kid how to ski, how to control speed, and even how to fall down correctly and not to get hurt. Teachers keep an eye on every child, so parents do not need to worry about their safety. If you visit Baqueira-Beret together with a toddler who cannot walk yet and, naturally, has no interest in skiing, you will be glad to find out that there is a special kindergarten for small kids. It is suitable for children from 3 months old. Experienced babysitters take care of children while their parents can relax and enjoy skiing.

It is possible to reach the ski resort of Baqueira-Beret by car or bus only because there are winding mountain roads surrounded by waterfalls. Narrow canyons also do not make a ride more comfortable. Travelers from other countries can fly to Toulouse first – this city is situated 160 kilometers away from the resort. It is also possible to fly to Barcelona. In the latter case, the distance to Baqueira-Beret will be significantly bigger – roughly 350 kilometers. Barcelona has a regular bus connection with Baqueira-Beret. Buses depart three times a day. The time in transit is approximately six hours.
