Founded in 1946 by the Spanish champion ski racer Louis Arias, the Baqueria Beret resort in Vielha e Mijaran is known for having some of the most challenging slopes in the Pyrenees mountains. It features a modern lift infrastructure, and most of its terrain is above the tree-line. The aesthetics of the resort are tasteful, using wood and stone rather than concrete like most other resorts.

The more southern latitude of this valley gives the resorts here up to an hour more of sunlight than other prominent ski areas in the Alps, keeping the temperatures on the slopes a bit warmer too. However, you won't have to worry about running out of snow, with over 350 strategically placed snow guns these slopes stay in adequate snow cover throughout the season.

In addition to being one of the best spots in the world for expert skiers, Vielha e Mijaran offers skiing suitable for all abilities in this large area, as well as excellent off-piste powder and near vertical couloirs. For the experts, you can tempt fate with the 'Scornacrabes', translating literally to "the place where the goats die", or test out the Louis Arias and Tubo Nere runs, known as steep mogul trails.
