Test report Baqueira Beret

From the town of Baqueira starts the high speed quad Bosque up to the ski area of Baqueira Beret. Since the season 2005/2006 a 9-person gondola attend the chair lift and it is easier to reach the ski resort. It is a bit unusual, because you have to put the ski or boards on the chair in front of you and then you drive up on the chair lift without skis or boards on your foots. This is the same at the double chair Esquiros, so it is a bit hectic at the two lifts to go up to the mountain. If you are arrived you can put the ski equipment on and you can take either the high speed quad Mirador or the high speed six person chair Pla de Baqueira up to Cap de Baqueira with an elevation of 2500m. Now you have runs of all of all degrees of difficulty on tree free slopes down to the valley. Via easy runs and the nearly parallel triple chairs Argulls and Teso Dera Mina you can reach the lifts and runs at Port de la Bonaigua At the double chair Cap del Port with mid station is the perfect terrain for beginners and you can take the lift to reach Bonaigua. Between 1900m and 2320m the high speed quad La Peülla opens up runs of all of all degrees of difficulty. With the high speed quad Bonaigua, an easy run and the triple chair Manaud (up tp the peak of Cap de Baqueira) or the triple chair Solei you can ski or ride back to the runs in Baqueira. The new high speed quad Era Cabana is a good connection to the slopes to Beret. From Orri (1850m) you can take the triple chair Vista Beret to reach the area of Beret. Here are a lot of parking lots and two mountain sides to ski or ride. On the one side you have the high speed six person chair Dera Reina, as well as two triple and a double chair on almost easy slopes. With the triple chair Dossau you can reach the highest point in the ski resort at 2516m, called Tuc deth Dossau. On the other side, the high speed quad Blanhiblar and a j-bar open up easy to intermediate runs up to 2338m. Via a bridge you can ski or ride back to the other lifts. From the top station of the six person chair Dera Reina you can swing via a wide and easy slope back to Baqueira. You have possibilities on the way to Baqueira to take one of the double chairs up to Cap de Baqueira or you can ski or ride down to Baqueira and take the quad up again. The complete ski area is abouve the tree line, with exeption of the two valley runs down to Baqueira. There are many free parking lots at the lifts in Beret, Orri, Port de la Bonaigua und Bonaigua.
