| About The Resort.. |
|
 |
|
|
 Vielha is in the valley d'Aran and is 9 miles away from Baquiera - Beret, Spains leading winter resort. Bacquiera itself is somewhat drab with high rise blocs and many people choose to stay down the mountain. (these people I am led to believe include the Spanish Royal Family! Can this be true?) There are many more hotels, bars and Catalan restaurants in the town. There are free shuttle buses to take you to the mountain each morning. |
