Ski Safari Through Deep Snow In Baqueira Beret

All 33 lifts and 120km of pistes are open at Baqueira Beret in the Spanish Pyrenees. Last to open were The Tuc de la Llança 1 and 2 and the Argulles chairlifts which opened after the epic task of digging out 4m deep snow from support towers after more than 4 meters of snowfall in the Bonaigua area.

Baqueira Beret has created new marked ski safari routes through its three sectors - Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua (www.baqueira.es/estacion/safaris). The routes are well marked with details of starting point, which lifts to take, which pistes to go down, restaurants and services along the way and so on.

Skier ability level have also been taken into account with three different safaris routes available which have specific markers on the pistes.

The blue Safari is for an intermediate level skier, ideal to ski along comfortable, wide runs without exaggerated slopes.

The red Safari is designed for the skiers with a good level as it runs along more challenging pistes.

The black Safari is for the expert level skier as the itinerary runs through the most difficult pistes of the resort.

Another option is to take a safari with an expert guide at the weekend. The safari lasts four hours and concludes in the Baqueira 1500 bar with a glass of cava. Price per day per person is 20 euros (minimum 8 people). It is necessary to reserve your spot before Friday at 2pm via carmeta@baqueira.es

Ski Miquel www.skimiquelholidays.co.uk is offering a seven-night half board ski break to the Spanish ski resort of Baqueira Beret in the Catalan Pyrenees this Easter, from £499 per person, between 24-31 March

This place caught my eye a few years back when ski miquel started going there. Someone on here went and wrote a really interesting review. It seems to be a reasonable sized pisted area with enormous off piste opportunities.

In the years I've been looking at it, the snow fall has outperformed much of the alps.

I'd be really interested to hear more from people who have been.

Tony I went on my first trip with BTSC in 96 to Baqueira Beret with ski Miquel so its been a bit more than a few years since they've been doing it :shock:

Interesting. I only noticed it a couple of years back. Oh well.
