Three brand-new slopes
The Bosc de Peülla 2 a black run in the Bonaigua area - 514 meters long, with a 200-meter altitude drop and a steep average slope of 40%. It starts at 2,239 meters.

Barqueta 2 - a whole new extension, so you can ski all the way from Baqueira to Argulls. It’s a red run that’s about 430 meters long with a 35% average slope, perfect for intermediate skiers
And, the final new addition is the 2200 slope, which is a shorter, but super sweet run, located right at the 2,200-meter level of Baqueira. This one’s 220 meters long and has a 27% average slope—it ends right at the 2200 Restaurant

Also improving a bunch of existing runs, like the expansion of Ta Cabanes in the Dossau area and Pla de Beret 2, to make things smoother and easier to link different areas of the resort.
And in Baciver, they’ve revamped the access to slopes like Orqueta 1 and 2, which is perfect for freeride enthusiasts.

Baqueira’s added 31 new snow makers, which means more consistent coverage across the mountain, especially in busy areas like Bonaigua and Beret.
The addition of some new snow groomers with the SnowSAT system that will make sure the slopes are in the best condition possible.
