Who wants to go to the snow? Surely everyone is looking forward to spending a few days with friends, as a couple or as a family skiing or having fun in the best ski slopes of Spain. In our country there are enough mountainous areas for skiing, but there are some slopes that are more important than others and that therefore offer us many more services.
We have here a simple list of ski resorts in which to spend the winter holidays without having to leave the country. There are well-prepared ski slopes and stations that are designed for fun, for the family or for sports. If you have not yet made your plans for this winter, watch out for these proposals.
Baqueira Beret
We start with one of the ski resorts most exclusive in Spain, located in Lleida. This is Baqueira Beret, winter vacation spot for the Royal Family. It is also the place that has the most expensive ski passes, but in exchange it is possible to see famous people if we are lucky. In this ski resort there are more than 150 skiable kilometers, 103 slopes, 34 lifts and 629 canyons that produce snow to optimize the use of the station. There is also a leisure and restaurant area at Baqueira 1500, which was recently inaugurated.
Formigal
Formigal station is located in Huesca and stands out mainly for being a family oriented station, with a great deal for children. They have various activities on the children's slopes and snow gardens where children can entertain themselves and enjoy themselves. It also stands out for having a leisure area in which there are fun activities that are not available in many stations, such as a go-kart circuit on a frozen track, paintball in the snow, rides on sleds pulled by Nordic dogs or ski biking.
Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada is said to be one of the most fun ski resorts, ideal for young people. During the night there are many areas where have fun and entertainment venues. During the day there are also activities available, such as Russian sledding, a kind of roller coaster but on sleds or the innovative bike-slalon, a sport in which slalons are performed on a wide-wheel bicycle.

This is the station oldest in Spain, and surely one of the most famous and well-known, despite having only 50 skiable kilometers, much less than others like Baqueira Beret.
