Skiing in the Pyrenees: The mountain range that separates Spain from France contains some of the best skiing in Europe. The Spanish Pyrenees, where you’ll hear Spanish, Catalan, English and possible a little French spoken, is dotted with ski resorts, from the ultra-chic to more down-to-earth variety. Spanish royalty and the royally rich head to Baqueria-Beret, while families prefer the pace of Formigal. The sister-resorts of La Molina and Masella offer runs for all levels of skiers, and “undiscovered” Panticosa is slowly gaining popularity among non-Spaniards. About.com has a good page of destination info for skiing in the Spanish Pyrenees.
