From Tosa d’Alp, you can see CadĂ-MoixerĂł Natural Park and the Cerdanya valley; the cable car takes you to an altitude of more than 2,500 metres. This mountain panorama is just one side of La Molina: the resort combines ski history and slopes with a Bike Park and courses. If you are looking for a hotel in La Molina, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay.
Ski history and slopes
La Molina was founded in 1943 and is one of Spain’s oldest ski resorts. That same year, the Fontcanaleta ski lift became part of the pioneering history of mechanical uphill transport in La Molina. These two milestones give the resort a historical connection from two perspectives: its founding year marks the start of the resort, while Fontcanaleta represents the early history of mechanical uphill transport. La Molina’s identity as a ski resort is therefore shaped not only by its sporting activities, but also by its founding and the pioneering history of its uphill transport.
La Molina has 71 kilometres of ski slopes and 66 runs for all levels. The kilometre figure describes the total length, while the number of runs indicates how many individual runs there are; the reference to all levels adds the range of the offering. This gives you an idea of the size of the ski area before you consider what kind of ski day would suit your stay.
Tosa d’Alp: views, tours and mountain cuisine
The CadĂ-MoixerĂł cable car takes you to Tosa d’Alp, at an altitude of more than 2,500 metres. From there, you can enjoy views of CadĂ-MoixerĂł Natural Park and the Cerdanya valley. Guided tours at Tosa d’Alp using the cable car include two panoramic routes that lead into the natural park. Guided tours are offered seasonally; check the dates for your travel period if you plan to join one. This lets you choose between a scenic cable car ride and a guided experience along panoramic routes.
Meals featuring mountain cuisine are available at the summit, which can also be reached by cable car. This means you can include both the views and mountain cuisine in your plans for a visit. Dining is seasonal. If you would like to eat there, take seasonal operation into account when planning.
Bike Park and instructor-led sports courses
La Molina Bike Park has eight downhill trails, a cross-country trail and a Wood Park. The number of downhill trails may vary by season. If you are planning your visit around the trail selection, check the details for your travel dates.
The Centre d'Esport Adaptat in La Molina offers skiing and snowboarding lessons, as well as courses in adapted sports; the programme is led by specialist instructors. The Bike Park and the Centre are different elements to consider when planning: at the Bike Park, the focus is on trail types, while at the Centre, it is on courses with specialist instruction. This lets you choose between a visit to the park and an instructor-led course.
Getting there and finding a hotel
The Rodalies R3 line also serves the La Molina ski resort. Check the current timetable with the operator for your travel dates and compare it with your planned itinerary.
When looking for hotels in La Molina, you can first decide what to focus on during your stay: the ski slopes, Fontcanaleta’s historical role, the Bike Park, Tosa d’Alp or courses at the Centre. Keep in mind that the number of downhill trails may vary seasonally, and guided tours and summit meals are offered seasonally. Then check hotel availability for your specific travel dates.
