Pyrenees Guide

Tucked away in the eastern Pyrenees just north of Barcelona, Vall de Nuria is a small resort accessible by funicular railway. Although there are only 10 pistes - which include both easy and hard runs - the station offers a good day out for families and there's a special children's centre.

Four chair and drag lifts and service the mountain, with 47 snow cannons helping maintain good coverage. Ski lessons and equipment hire are available. Lift pass options include combination lift and furnicular passes. An adult day lift pass costs 19.40 euros at the weekend and 15.50 euros during the week.
