The Freeride World Tour 2025 kicks off with the Baqueira Beret Pro by Movistar this Friday, January 17.

It can be accessed via both valleys through the Vielha tunnel and the port of Bonaigua and also from Toulouse (France).

The total area spans 2,273 hectares, with 171 km of routes and 123 slopes. This extensive terrain allows for skiing and snowboarding without crowds. The resort, covering an elevation change of 1,110 metres, starts at Baqueira 1500 and reaches 2,610 metres at Cap de Baciver.

Baqueira Beret enjoys exceptional natural snow coverage, making it a highly prized resort for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. It also has 7 kilometres of Nordic ski trails, a Snowpark, boardercross, funpark and Audi Ski Kronos, along with a host of other facilities for maximum fun in the snow. The quality of the local cuisine and the historical Romanesque heritage make the area worth a visit.
