Ski La Molina to be presented with great slopes for all levels - and and extended ski area with Masella for more challenges. A wonderful holiday choice set against a historical backdrop in the Pyrenees.
Where
Located in the Pyrenean mountain range in Catalona, this is Spain's first ski area from 1911. Ski La Molina for scenic slope views, tree-lined pistes and to be close to the Med. This is a resort for those who want a true ski holiday (or snowboarding holiday!). Easily accessible by car and rail, access by flying is via Toulouse airport. Most people also prefer to hire a car for wider après ski options - as La Molina itself is not a party town.
On the slopes
With 53 slopes to choose from, ski La Molina and provided you are a beginner or intermediate skier then you will be very happy. There are also seven expert trails to choose from as well as some great off-piste. The ski resort itself is historical as it has been open since 1911 and was the first ski resort to install a ski lift and has grown to accommodate 16 lifts and one gondola for easy transportation between slopes.
Covering just over 50km with pistes for those who still want more the nearby resort of Masella is linked by train and bus to provide 60km more of additional runs. Snowboarders are also welcome as there's ramps, jumps, and a half pipe plus four ski jumps for adventurous skiers.
