After a long wait, we can finally enjoy skiing in the Pyrenees again, always at the best resorts, such as Port Ainé, Virós-Vallferra, Sant Joan de L'erm, Espot Esqui, Tasvascan, and Baqueira Beret, all located in the Pallars Sobirá region. This makes it the ideal activity to combine with a getaway to the Hotel de Les Brases. However, there are always things we forget from one year to the next that we must keep in mind when going skiing. Grab a pen and paper because we're going to explain everything you need to feel that adrenaline rush that only skiing can give you.
A good workout before you start
Skiing is a complete sport, as it involves practically moving your entire body. Even if it's not your first time, you should prepare for it. Your muscles get used to the daily exercise you do, so it's best not to lead a sedentary lifestyle in the days before you go skiing, as your muscles can become overworked and end up injured. A good way to avoid this is to tone your legs and arms so they're ready when you hit the slopes.
Mark a route
One of the most important things when you go skiing is to mark a route and always have a map handy. We often tend to go it alone, and this is a serious mistake, as we can end up on a slope that isn't suitable for our skill level, resulting in injury. You have to be aware of your actual skill level and avoid skiing on a slope that isn't suited to your equipment and technique.
Interesting extras
Another thing we often forget to pack when we go skiing is selecting the extras to liven up our getaway. One of the most useful is the famous fortfait , a pass that allows you to travel around the ski slopes using the lifts. If, on the other hand, we don't choose this option, we can travel around the slopes on foot, which can sometimes be very cumbersome.
Furthermore, the Pallars Sobirá slopes offer a ski pass , a faster access system that you can top up online before your arrival.
