Why Boí Taüll
Boí Taüll is a high resort in the western Catalan Pyrenees, at the head of the Vall de Boí, next to the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Its altitude gives it a good snow record, and the upper pistes have wide views across the high peaks. Few resorts combine skiing with culture so well: the Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí, painted in the 11th and 12th centuries, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site a few minutes below the slopes.
Who it suits
Intermediates and good skiers who want high, quiet slopes and do not mind a smaller resort; families who want to mix a ski day with the churches and the national park. It is too far for a comfortable single day from Barcelona, so plan at least one night in the valley.
Getting there from Barcelona
Drive west towards Lleida and north through the Ribagorça, or north through the Pallars, to the Vall de Boí: about four hours. The valley villages of Boí, Taüll and Barruera have hotels and guesthouses. There is no practical public transport to the slopes.
