Vallter 2000 is a great choice if you want to enjoy a morning or late afternoon swim in the Mediterranean sea and skiing in the daytime – it’s one of those closest ski resorts to the beach there is, especially in Spain.

Flying in, Barcelona is 60 miles away to this, the most Easterly resort in Catalonia.

Although the terrain is best suited to beginners and intermediates, there are a couple of blacks and a near 2000 foot vertical providing enough entertainment for a few days on the slopes. Uplift is to provided by triple and quad chairlifts.

Remember to grab some lunch in the high altitude Les Marmotes restaurant which offers spectacular scenic views.
