Vielha Skiing

Baqueira-Beret Estación de Esquí. This ski center offers Catalonia's most varied and reliable skiing. Its 87 km (54 miles) of pistas (slopes), spread over 53 runs, range from the gentle Beret slopes to the vertical chutes of Baqueira. The Bonaigua area is a mixture of steep and gently undulating trails, with some of the longest, most varied runs in the Pyrenees. A dozen restaurants and four children's areas are scattered about the facilities, and the thermal baths at Tredós are 4 km (2½ miles) away. Calle Baqueira Beret, 25598. 973/639025; www.baqueira.es.
