Pirineos

An hour’s drive from the Costa Brava, there are the Pyrenees and one of the region’s finest places for winter sports. Recreation and adventure – it is all right here. Taking long walks along the coast, kiting, snowboarding, skiing – and for those who consider themselves extremely daring: a quick jump into the cold but nonetheless Mediterranean Sea.
Gentle slopes, exciting down-hill runs, demandingly steep slopes and several hundred kilometers of cross-country tracks: the Catalan Pyrenees are a dream come true for everyone into winter sports. There is something there for everyone, beginners and experts alike. Over the last couple of years, there has been quite a bit of investment into new technical equipment. Snow fans and ski-lifts have been installed and will surely contribute to the guests’ comfort.
However, they are still there, the silent, soothing slopes that allow you to float through the snowy landscapes undisturbed by swarms of tourists.
You can also combine active skiing sessions with a relaxing stay in the spa. Skiing in the morning, spending the afternoon at the coast, and then a massage by skilled hands – bliss!
