Best Ski Resort for Advanced Skiers in Spain: Baqueira - Beret - Advanced Rating
Advanced skiers in Baqueira-Beret are spoilt for choice with excellent terrain variety. One Snomad community member liked that the resort hosts a Freeride World Tour event, confirming its credentials for challenging terrain. The off-piste options on the Beret side are particularly praised, while the 'Goat Run' is recommended for the second or third day once you've found your legs. The resort isn't often crowded, meaning minimal queue times and plenty of space to enjoy the well-maintained runs. For those seeking varied experiences, users suggest visiting Bonaigua at least once during your stay.
#2 Sierra Nevada - Advanced Rating
Advanced skiers and snowboarders will find plenty to enjoy in Sierra Nevada, though it's worth noting the conditions can be variable. One Snomad community member who's been visiting for 11 years praises how the resort "keeps updating and gets better each year." The groomed runs score highly with our users, and there's a decent-sized terrain park that includes features like a half-pipe. While off-piste options aren't extensive, the quick, efficient lifts mean you can maximise your time on the slopes. For those wanting a challenge, the resort offers enough variety to keep advanced riders entertained across a shorter break.
