La Molina ski resort
La_Molina ski station near Barcelona. La Molina is a popular ski station in the Pre-Pyrenees mountains near Barcelona. It's proximity makes it popular for day ski trips from Barcelona. La Molina is the oldest ski resort in Spain. The first commercial ski lift was opened in 1943. La Molina has a skiable terrain of 71 km and 66 ski runs; the maximum height difference is 2.445 m and the minimum 1.400 m. La Molina is in the Pre-pyrenees where there is less snowfall that in the Pyrenees.

The extensive network of snow cannons mean that La Molina is usually open all winter, but sometimes only has snow on the tracks and little snow on surrounding areas.

La Molina is a ski station and not really a village resort so there are few restaurants or shops. It's very nice for 1 day of skiing - it's easy to get to La Molina by bus or train - scroll down for driving information - or you can buy a day skibus pack which includes ski-pass.

If you prefer to go for 2 days of skiing you might have to book the bus/train separately and then buy the liftpass at the slopes.

La Molina is more of a ski station than a village resort so it is perhaps not the best choice for a full week of skiing because there are few afterski options

There are three hotels (scroll to bottom of page for hotel info) for short stays which makes La Molina perfect for 2 days ski trips from Barcelona.

The hotel next to the slopes is Hotel HG La Molina which is rated Very Good by guests. Recent review "Great location, just a short walk to slopes, ski lift, supermarket and ski hire shop. Indoor Spa pool lovely. Food good, especially breakfast."

La Molina sometimes hosts national and international World cup skiing and snowboarding races and events.
