Valmorel ski resort:
“Been visiting Valmorel since 2019. Great intermediate to beginner resort linked to St Francois Longchomp via the famous Col de la Madeleine. Most of the skiing is between 1600m and 2300m so I've found it to be relatively ski sure, with only the runs to both Doucy and Valmorel villages requiring snow making assistance in poorer seasons, snow canons coverage is pretty extensive below 2000m. Valmorel village is very pretty, adopting chalet type architecture, despite it being a purpose built resort, and has a friendly laid back vibe. The skiing is quite diverse with some gentle greens and blues on the Valmorel, Doucy, Charmette and St Fran sides, with some great reds and blues around the Col De la Madeleine; the red off the top of Lauzierre down to CDM is particularly good as are all 4 runs back to Valmorel from the CDM. A good intermediate could probably cover the whole area in 3 days. Not much for expert skiers , there are a couple of blacks that are quite steep and narrow but these are mainly challenging as they are left un-pisted.
Cheaper than the neighboring three valleys and generally less busy (we always avoid Feb French holidays). Seems to be quite up and coming as there have been quite a few new hotels added in the last few years and new bubble and chairlift additions to increase capacity. Would highly recommend for beginners and intermediates.”

Bansko ski resort:
“Last day of a 2 week stay this year and not much has changed. The gondola queue is crazy if you're not there between 7.45 and 8.15 when you'll walk straight on. Arrive at 9 and you'll be standing around for over an hour. The ski area hasn't changed and is still good. Lift pass prices are high at €59 per day, at least when you consider what that money gets you in terms of ski area. I was also disappointed by the 'discount' for buying longer passes, it wasn't really worth it when considering the rule of the pass being valid for consecutive days rather than days skiing. In town is much the same, nasty up top, traditional and lovely in town. I worried I might be bored staying two weeks but had a great time. I'd do it again next year.”

Baqueira/Beret ski resort:
“Reviews on this resort seem few and far between, so hopefully, this will fill in the blanks
First time here and first time in Spain, so a slightly different vibe. Like anywhere, when the snow is good, most shortcomings can be forgiven. We went early Feb 2026, and the snow was excellent.
A few things to be aware of:
It's a big ski area, but a lot of the slopes are only accessible by drag lifts. This includes Tuc de Costarjas, the 2 drags that get you to Cap de Baciver and the twin drags up to Tuc de Lianca. Off putting for boarders, but you should grin and bear it to access the better terrain.
Few crowds, other than at the weekend, if the weather is good, when the Derra Reina lift in Beret gets very busy. Other than that, it's only really the area above Baqueira that gets crowded. Note that the lifts are prone to closure in high winds - just the one Gondala, and the older chairs around Argulls don't open on windy days.
When it snows, when there's powder, there are some excellent and easily accessible off piste areas.
Beret - get the Blandhiblar lift, head down the blue and cut off to the left of the piste. Or at the top of the Dossau lift, the pistes and off piste areas are excellent.
Baqueira - try the 2 blacks at the top of the Cap de Baqueira - Muguet & Manaud. Or take the Argulls lift and head back off-piste on the left hand side.
One major drawback is the surprising lack of mountain restaurants. Organising lunch is a strategic challenge. My advice is eat early in order to bag a spot.
Bonaigua - don't bother. Quite an effort to get there, not worth it.
2 tips for the management
a) you need a extra new chair at Beret, connecting it to the top of the Jesus lift
b) Cap de Baqueira - a great spot for a large, self service restaurant.”
