La Molina school ski trips, Spanish Pyrenees

Just over the border from France, La Molina and sister resort Masella combine to produce the wonderful Alp 2500 ski area. Whilst being Spain’s first ski resort, La Molina is actually a modern and well laid out base. Recent development has put in place top quality accommodation and modern infrastructure that makes for a relaxing experience both logistically and in terms of comfort. Extensive investment has turned the area into a first class ski resort, rivalling many in Europe. Though relatively unknown amongst British ski groups, Alp 2500 is a favourite weekend ski retreat for Barcelona residents giving it a cool and trendy vibe.

Ski Area

La Molina really is a hidden gem with 141km of pistes to suit all abilities and boasts 73 Blue runs, 50 Red runs and 18 Black runs. There are plenty of easy, wide runs to be found close to La Molina itself, with more testing, forest lined runs in the easily accessible and fully linked Masella section. As well as the wide variety of pistes, the resort also has two snow parks and a superpipe.

Voyager’s package includes the Alp2500 ski pass, with both areas linked by the jumbo 6 seat Tosa de Masella chairlift. All in all, the set-up is perfect for the mixed abilities of school ski groups and with 90% of this high resort’s runs north facing, it is also surprisingly snow sure.
