Baqueira-Beret is a ski resort located in the heart of the Pyrenees, in the Aran and Àneu Valleys in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, with the nearest airport located in Toulouse, France, approximately two hours' drive by automobile. The ski area extends from 1,500 to 2,610 metres (4,920 to 8,560 ft) in elevation, and due to its reliable snow elevation, the typical ski season [1] starts in November and goes to late April. Baqueira is the largest and most visited winter resort in Spain. Popular amongst the royal family and the affluent Spanish and French, The Telegraph asks if Baqueira could be "the world's finest ski resort?".[1]
