Walking lush, green trails and spotting wildlife in the mountains is certainly something you can experience up in the Pyrenees. However, when winter rolls in, this rugged region of Catalonia becomes a winter sports playground. Welcome to beautiful Baqueira. With the Baqueira Beret ski slopes and lifts less than 200 metres from your front door, this home is perfectly poised to entertain snowsports enthusiasts.

As soon as you step inside, you'll notice the sophisticated blend of traditional and modern. The cow-print chairs and rich beams of the wooden ceilings create that old-world mountain vibe, while gilded, honey-comb lighting features and illustrated murals set the tone for the 21st century. With this in mind, the living space feels like a fantastic place to rest after hanging up your boots for the day. Sip regional wines on the chaise longue sofa, or even better – your private terrace.

Behind sliding glass doors lies an incredible vista of mountains, trees, and the slopes beyond. There really cannot be a better place to try local delicacies, especially Catalan cheeses. And of course, if you’re really too tired from your day out, the private chef can always come over and handle dinner for you.
