Baqueira-Beret offers some of the best above the treeline bowl skiing in the Pyrenees and is just a short transfer from Toulouse in the picturesque Aran valley. Named after the nearby villages of Baqueira and Beret, the ski holiday resort offers good skiing for all abilities though intermediate skiers will find themselves most at home here. There are 86 kilometres of marked pistes consisting of four greens, 25 blues, 20 reds and four blacks. If you’re only just off the nursery slopes you may find some of the blues more challenging than usual.

The ski resort of Formigal is located at the heart of the Spanish Pyrenean Mountains in the region of Aragon. It’s a lively purpose-built resort suitable for beginners, intermediate skiers and families. You don’t come here to rub shoulders with the rich and famous but it’s a friendly and relaxed resort with good facilities and some great ski deals are available at lower prices than some of the other skiing resorts of the Alps.

For sun and snow your choice for skiing holidays in Spain has to be the Sierra. The ski area is called Sol y Nieve, which translates as “sun and snow” and you really can get this in Europe’s most southerly ski resort, any further and you would fall into the Mediterranean, just 60 miles inland from the Costa Tropical, and a 20-mile day trip from historic Granada and its World Heritage Sites. It’s the best known and best equipped of all the Spanish ski resorts with 48 pistes covering 70 kilometres. You won’t find another resort where you can ski in the morning then play golf in the sunshine or relax on a Mediterranean beach in the afternoon.
