Best Ski Resort in Spain: Baqueira - Beret - Overall Rating Rating 4.44

Baqueira-Beret is a hidden gem in the Pyrenees that packs a serious punch. Our reviewers mention that it offers exceptional value compared to French resorts, with wide-open pistes and minimal queues. The lift system is modern and efficient, keeping wait times short even on busy days. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said they were "mesmerised" by the terrain, which suits all abilities. The Spanish tapas culture shines through with excellent mountain restaurants at reasonable prices. Though the après scene isn't as wild as some Alpine resorts, the authentic local towns like Arties and Vielha more than make up for it with their vibrant evening options.

#2 Sierra Nevada - Overall Rating Rating 4.00

Sierra Nevada offers a brilliant mix of sunshine and skiing, with many of our users returning year after year. The resort is particularly well-suited for families, with a dedicated kids' area and excellent ski schools that cater to multiple languages. While the snow can be unpredictable (with snow machines often saving the day), when conditions are good, the variety of runs – especially the reds – provides plenty of options. One Snomad community member liked the stunning views from the top, where you can see both the Mediterranean and Morocco on clear days. Weekdays tend to be quieter than weekends, with efficient lift systems helping everyone get around.
