Salardú is the handsome medieval capital of the Naut Aran (Upper Aran), a cluster of grey-stone houses and slate roofs around one of the finest Romanesque churches in the Pyrenees — and the most characterful of the villages within easy reach of the Baqueira lifts.

Baqueira Beret Ski Area

Baqueira Beret is one of Spain's largest ski resorts and its most prestigious — 169 km of pistes strung across three linked sectors (Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua) high in the Val d'Aran, on the northern, Atlantic-facing side of the Pyrenees where the snow falls deepest and lasts longest.

Beret

Beret is the high, open plateau above Baqueira at around 1,850 m — the resort's sunniest, most snow-sure sector, with wide gentle runs that make it the natural home of beginners, families and cross-country skiers.
