La Molina - Ski the Spanish Pyrenees
The friendly La Molina ski resort in the Catalan Pyrenees is the oldest in
Spain.
It lies 160 km from Barcelona and there is a special train there
from the city which takes 3½ hours and connects with a shuttle bus from Molina
station to the base village. It is an ideal choice for beginners and is
popular with families.
The resort is ideal for intermediate skiers because you can warm up on some
very good green slopes at Pista Llarga, Els Pins and Fontcanaleta then
head up the mountain to take on a wide selection of blue and red pistes.
Also La Molina connects with the neighbouring resort of Masella so there is a
wide selection of skiing available.
With Barcelona so nearby it's a good idea to avoid weekends as the number of
skiers is much higher due to day trippers. This is especially the case at
the beginning of the ski season when beginners converge on the small resort.
Spanish is very much the language of the resort as few foreign operators use La
Molina as a destination.
