Visitor Reviews of Baqueira/Beret
Bruce from United Kingdom writes:
I spent last season (03-04) in Baqueira. We had an appauling season, with aweful snow for most of the season. Baqueira is renowned for late season snow, and it was only in March that we actually got dumped on regularly.
Its an expensive resort for spain, and the apres ski is mostly lame (unless you wear polo shirts and are extremely snotty). There are some great runs, and the resort is huge, which means that crowds are seldom a big problem if you venture away from the main lifts.
I would reccommend staying in Salardu or Arties if you have a car, else Vielha.
The main problem was snow. The resort just isnt snow-sure enough. With lots of snow too, the resort is mostly flat(ish), so it can be a problem. I went to Chamonix for a week after the season, and that is a steep mountain. Felt like i was a beginner even though I was boarding all season.
The best thing about Baqueira is that there were 10 english speakers there the whole season (maybe 20) ... so you can avoid annoying larger louts that you get in Andorra and in the Alpes.
Would reccommend it highly, althoguh check conditions before going.
Hope this helps.
