The six Railway stations, together, plan to open about 75% of the ski areas.

 

The most favored areas are those of Alta Ribagorça and Pallars Sobirà: Boí Taüll receives more than half a meter of new snow, and Espot Esquí and Port Ainé accumulate up to 40 centimeters. On the other hand, in the Eastern Pyrenees resorts of La Molina, Vall de Núria and Vallter, rainfall leaves up to 20 centimeters of snow.

 

The good condition of the slopes, the constant work of the station staff and the forecast of more snowfall predict a good end to the season.

The significant snowfalls recorded last weekend translate into the recovery of the winter aspect of the 2023-2024 season in the six ski and mountain resorts of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya.

 

The most favored station and with the thickest snow has been Boí Taüll, which has accumulated up to 50 centimeters of new snow on top of the meter of snow that was already in the upper part. These snowfalls have made it possible to further improve the optimal conditions it already had. During these days, the opening of seven slopes was possible, representing an additional nine kilometers of ski area. The low temperatures made it possible for the 3,700 weekend visitors to enjoy the powder snow on the slopes.

 

Currently, the highest resort in the Pyrenees has powder snow thicknesses of between 60 cm at low levels and 150 cm at high levels and also has more than 60% of the ski area open to the public. The Boí Valley station is working hard to open another 5.5 kilometers to the public, with eight new slopes, most of them black level. In the coming days, the resort aims to complete the offer of mountain skiing itineraries and put the SnowPark into operation.

 

The heavy snowfall in the early hours of Sunday, March 3, has left up to 35 centimeters of new snow in the Pallaresa resort of Espot Esquí, which offers a maximum of 115 cm of powder snow and has almost all of the slopes in operation. Similarly, Port Ainé has also greatly benefited from the snowfall this weekend, in which it received 40 cm of new snow. People who visit this tourist facility will be able to enjoy up to 115 cm of powder snow at high altitudes. In fact, thanks to the latest snowfalls it has been possible to expand the ski area of both Pallaresas resorts: in Espot Esquí it has gone from 68% to 88% open and in Port Ainé, from 74% to 96%. Off-piste itineraries, snowshoeing and mountain skiing have also been opened.

 

The snowfalls have also been generous in La Molina and delivered more than 20 centimeters of new snow to all levels. Currently, the Cerdanya resort registers powder snow depths of up to 65 cm at high altitudes and has more than 50% of the slopes open. This weekend the La Molina + Masella connection is scheduled to open and the Fun Park and the Nissan X-Trail Slalom will be in operation.

 

The same optimistic scenario has been experienced in the Vall de Núria resort, which has also received 20 centimeters of new snow. This Ripollès facility has powder-duration snow depths of between 50 and 70 cm and more than 50% of the station is in operation. Thanks to the precipitation in the form of snow this weekend, Vall de Núria has expanded its domain: it has opened the Soleia slope, the entire Mulleres slope, the Mirador del Canal snowshoe circuits, the Mirador del lago, the Escudé Bridge and the Old Springboard.

 

As for Vallter, up to 20 cm of new snow has accumulated and offers 30% of the slopes open. The precipitation in the form of snow expected for Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th, added to the constant work of the technical teams and the low temperatures, ensure an increase in the number of skiable kilometers for the coming days.

 

A month of March and Easter with guaranteed snow

According to forecasts, the winter weather situation will remain throughout the week. Low temperatures will be the clear protagonists with a new episode of abundant snowfall in the coming days, further improving the good conditions and quality of snow in the Catalan Pyrenees.

 

The six FGC resorts face this final stretch of the season with great optimism. The quantity and quality of snow, the short-term weather forecasts and the proximity of Easter confirm that this month of March brings together the necessary ingredients to enjoy winter sports and make the most of an end to the season full of events in all tourist facilities.
