While Baqueira is famous for its ski slopes, there are plenty of activities for those who prefer not to ski or are looking for other leisure options.
Among the most popular activities for non-skiers are hiking routes and snowshoe walks, which allow you to explore the snow-covered landscapes of the region in a peaceful and relaxing way. These routes are well-marked, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in the natural environment of the Valle de Arán, where you can observe local wildlife and flora.
Another great option for those seeking a more relaxing experience is to indulge in the spa and wellness services offered at luxury hotels in the area, such as the Hotel MIM. Here, you can enjoy hydrotherapy circuits, and body treatments designed to rejuvenate the body and mind after a day on the mountain. Sports massages are particularly recommended for those who have spent the day on the slopes and need to relieve muscle tension.
For culture enthusiasts, visiting the nearby villages is an excellent choice. Arties, Salardú, and Vielha are charming towns where you can stroll through their cobbled streets, visit Romanesque churches, or taste the local cuisine at one of the traditional restaurants.
Don’t miss trying the olla aranesa, a traditional stew made with meat, legumes, and vegetables, perfect for replenishing your energy after a day outdoors.
